During the workshop presentation for SlicerMorph I encountered lots of Nvidia driver crashes (unrelated to Slicer). Going through the settings in my laptop, which has dual GPUs (intel + Geforce), I just noticed this message from Nvidia control panel. This must have been a recent change. Does anyone …

Based on the link I posted above it is just that with the recent May 2020 Windows 10 update that if there is a specification in the Windows graphics settings for the Slicer app it will then override that NVidia control panel specification. If there is no specification for it there it will continue t…

The Windows 10 graphics setting area for selecting the power saving (integrated) or the high performance (discrete) graphics option has been around since the Windows 10 April 2018 update. I’m not sure what else would’ve changed. Maybe building with the latest a Windows 10 SDK and something uses som…

But it appears since May update (which I just got couple weeks ago), that’s no longer the case. So if you are user like me and have been using Nv…
