Do a restart. I have dealt with such issues in the past. And tbh even yesterday I faced it. So just restart your system. It's most probably a bug in Windows. (Pro Tip: Never update windows to the latest version)

Yeah. I think it was a windows issue. After checking for updates and installing all the latest stuff everything seemed to clear up

Did you try setting the brightness through Nvidia Control Panel? That should resolve your issue.

I dont have that option available in the nvidia control panel. Or am i missing something?

Hello,
Im using a Dell inspiron 7567. GTX 1050 and Intel HD 630, Windows 10. One day im just doing some work and the screen flashes black for about 3 seconds followed by that windows sound that plays when you connect or disconnect a device. A while later i try to change my laptop brightness with the hardware buttons but i realize that it doesn't work. I tried on the OS through settings and it still doesnt change brightness. I've also tried a driver update, tried disabling and reenabling the driver as well but still no results.
Please what do i do? I dont want to have to reset or reinstall windows or anything of that sort.

If you've already swapped it over both in Windows and in the Nvidia control panel, not that I can think of.

 

Edit: Have you tried minimizing the launcher while updating? This may not run it on the iGPU, but if it's not rendering anything then it isn't using the dGPU either.

Yeah i keep it minimized to the taskbar when im not actively using it but it still shows up as running on the "Nvidia GPU activity app"

Leaving a modern laptop plugged in is no issue. Back in the days of Ni-Cd laptop batteries it was a big problem, but for modern lithium ion batteries there is no harm done by leaving them plugged in, and many charging circuits even have measures built in to mitigate the issue even further.

oh okay. Didnt know that. Thank you.

So im guessing nothing can be done about switching the app over to the iGPU?

Hi. for some reason epic games launcher has defaulted to running on my dedicated GPU (GTX 1050). I've changed the settings in Nvidia Control panel to ensure that it runs on integrated GPU as well as setting the preferred GPU to integrated in the global settings panel. However, Epic games launcher still decides to run on my dGPU. Its quite annoying and i dont feel comfortable with my GPU running for prolonged periods since i leave my laptop on overnight to update programs and i dont like to leave it plugged in that long
Thanks 

I performed a Dell Support Assist stress test on my GPU today. Since then random windows related apps have been randomly opening and running on my Graphics card (GTX 1050 4GB). I've turned off permissions to run apps in the background yet it's still an issue. its draining my laptops battery. Please help

I wanted to open my windows defender and perform a full scan but its blank. Please help.

1. In the time writing this post you probably would of clicked download on all of ‘m

2. How could you prefer edge over chrome/Firefox 

1) I'd have to click download on over a 100 files spread across the site so I just wanted to make my work easier
2) I prefer the look of edge over chrome and as of the last time i used chrome edge had some features that chrome didn't

Is there a way to select and download multiple links at once in edge browser? Chrome has an extension called "uselect idownload" which allows you to select and download multiple links. Is there a similar feature in Edge Browser?
e.g, how can I select all the download buttons at once and download the files instead of having to individually click on each link and save it to the desired folder

Edge is my preferred browser and I don't want to switch to chrome
thanks

I'm really into management games where you have a business or economy to control and manage. Played quite a few and I'm looking for some suggestions.

Yeah, you can. Just format it when you're finished and it'll be as good as new.

Thank you very much!!

If i use a pendrive as a windows 10 media creation tool, when I'm done can i use it as a normal pendrive again? 
Got an SSHD for my laptop and I want to install windows 10 on it, but I've had to borrow a pendrive to use for the install,

Looking for budget entry level racing wheel to play some racing games. Mostly F1 2018. Any suggestions ? Anything below $200 is fine.

well. believe that. I remeber on older laptops there was a program called nvidia optimus. but I don't know how it is in 1000 series. btw found this on the nvidia website

https://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/3130/~/setting-power-management-mode-from-adaptive-to-maximum-performance

thank you very much! Just made the change. going to check right away if this fixes it

tried power settings? both in windows and the nvidia control panel?

Done the correct power settings for windows, how do I change it in the nvidia control panel?

Dell 7567. Been experiencing lag in games for a while now. I've recently noticed that my cpu clock speed dips to 1Ghz and below even when I'm plugged in and gaming. This I think has been causing my games to stutter a lot. my temps are good at a maximum of 60 degrees when im gaming. so why is it running below the base clock speed? Please help. cant even play fortnite at medium/high with a smooth 60fps.
specs: GTX 1050, i5 7300Hq @2.5ghz ,8GB RAM

Your HyperThreading is turned off, is there a reason for that?  Whats the voltage running at on your RAM?  If it's below 1.35v, that could very well be killing your system.  Some brands of RAM do variable voltages well.  Others, not so much.  For example, Patriot memory is a complete joke right now with their DDR 4 offering.  Many Intel NUC systems have issue with it posting.  Samsung is the same.  Corsair, Crucial, GSkill, and others do this rather well though. Try switching out the RAM.  It's helped out in many of my own similar situations with certain systems.

I had no idea Hyperthreading was turned off, neither do I know how to turn it off or on. and my ram is running at 1.20 V. Although it may be variable under load. have to test it under load when playing a game.
