Answer 1

Dear matin,

Glad to see you in Microsoft Community.

May I ask have you tried setting it in Nvidia's Control Panel?

Double-click Nvidia Control Panel in the taskbar - Manage 3D Settings - Select by Program - Edge - High Performance

If this setting is turned on. Please try changing the display driver to the factory version.

Please create a new local account. Retest in a new account.

The method to create a new local account is: Create a local user or administrator account in Windows (microsoft.com)

Or you can refer to this:

1. Press Win+R, enter and run netplwiz, which will open the User Account window. Click the "Add" button, choose not to use Microsoft account and create a new local account. After the creation, select the new user name, click Properties, and change the new account to administrator in the group members.
2. Open the Start Menu, click on the left avatar to switch accounts, or press Win+L to lock the screen and switch.

If there is anything not clear, please do not hesitate to let me know.
