Question Do I want to use Optimus or Advanced Optimus for my specific situation ?

[nelska]

I thought advanced optimus was clearly the option you would use since its release over regular optimus years ago but I had just recently realized it might not be. The advanced optimus will straight switch to dgpu if you open something that needs it, I want to use the dgpu only for programs that need it while keeping the laptop in overall igpu mode. The only way to do that is using regular optimus, correct?

The reasoning is simple, I want to play videogames in a window while i browse the web.

Might want to include the make, model and SKU to your laptop.

Question - Is there anyway to get Windows 11 to boot everything using the laptop's iGPU ?

I bought a gaming laptop and for some reason it will not allow you to choose "boot everything to the iGPU". There's a menu to choose per program but that's a long list and the only way to go about it is to disable the GPU in device manager. boot all my programs and then start the GPU back up...
