Hello there,

You can force an app to use the dedicated GPU. You must be running Windows 10 1809 or later for this to work.

-Open the Settings app and go to the System group of settings.

-Select the Display tab and scroll down.

-Click the ‘Graphic Settings‘ option.

-On the Graphics Settings screen, open the ‘Choose an app to set preference‘ dropdown.

-Select the type of app you want to set the GPU use for; Classic app for desktop apps, and Universal app for UWP or Store apps.

-Once selected, click the Browse button and select the app. Click the ‘Options‘ button under the app once it has been added.

-In the window that opens, select ‘High Performance‘ and click ‘Save‘.

Hope this resolves your Query !!
