Question Laptop uses dGPU instead of iGPU for unwated apps

[EduardoG357]

Hi, I am having a problem with my laptop. The dGPU is being used for apps that I have not selected and that don't even need it. This was never a problem until I recently launched a game on Steam and now a bunch of random apps are using the dGPU. Also, there is another problem that I cannot turn off my laptop via Windows as it shows "There are currently no power options available" and have to turn it off manually. Is there a way to fix this?

in the up arrow in the bottom left of the screen there is an icon that shows apps that are utilizing the gpu. I jst turn it back on and it went back to normal so I'm not sure what was going on before. i still have the problem of no power options avaibble when trying to shut down my laptop.
