@Aydinv13 ZD 895994, direct contact.
Having the same issue. A few things I can note:
For added context - this is "Advanced" Optimus, so it is more akin to automatically toggling a MUX switch (which allows the dGPU to directly send frames to the screen), rather than traditional Optimus (where, when active, the dGPU sends frames "through" the iGPU).
This is basically handled via virtual displays in the system - in essence, the same display is considered under-the-hood to be 2 displays, one coming from the iGPU and one coming from the dGPU, and Advanced Optimus switches between them when launching games.
@Velgus @notaleksiej @koguroff could you please check if the issue is gone with this build? @ihurin @cryptopatik222 @PavelParkhomenko please advise the build to anyone affected.
Here is the instruction:
1) Install the build
2) Go to Settings -> General Settings -> Advanced Settings and search for Use software rendering
then turn it on
3) Save the settings
4) Restart AdGuard app
5) Enable Advanced Optimus
Oddly, software rendering seems to have made the issue even worse. When enabled, it also throws the error when "enabling" the "NVIDIA GPU only" mode (not just disabling it, like before). So games will launch with the iGPU in use instead of switching to the dGPU.
I tested twice (verifying the settings change and restarting AdGuard) to make sure.
@Velgus could you collect the debug logs then:
Also could you check if it persists in case you run AdGuard VPN along with AdGuard app
I am reproducing and will send it. I do not use AdGuard VPN.

No, the issue remains
I've sent the logs
@Velgus @notaleksiej @koguroff please, check out this build. We forced the software rendering in it. https://uploads.adguard.org/AdGuard-v7.18.4760.15.exe

Nope, still doesn't work, I am sending the logs
@Velgus @notaleksiej
For the AdGuard Ad blocker, we are planning to switch to a new GUI engine, so it would be helpful if you could check how AdGuard VPN will behave with NVIDIA Optimus, since AdGuard VPN already has this new engine in it.
@Velgus @notaleksiej to help us resolve this issue, you can run our Advanced Uninstaller from here https://cdn.adtidy.org/distr/windows/Uninstall_Utility.zip (it described in our knowledge base).
Just run Adguard.UninstallUtility.exe
file and check if it blocks the display mode. This utility is written in WPF, just like AdGuard itself.
@Velgus
or (b) enable AdGuard on startup, but manually click "Close AdGuard, but continue filtering" in the system tray every time you start the computer - neither of these are ideal.
As a workaround, you can check Enable filtering at system start-up
in Advanced Settings and disable autorun for the UI.

The Uninstaller being open did not cause issues enabling "Nvidia GPU only" mode, but did cause issues going back to Optimus (integrated graphics) - same as the AdGuard app. So the same as the original issue - pre-"software rendering" option.

I tried this, but it does not seem to automatically enable the Web Browser extension when enabled, so it's still "not ideal" in the ways I mentioned in this post. It's a minor issue, but still, it would be nice if having that setting enabled meant that, when opening the web browser, it would default the extension to being enabled, so you don't have to toggle it on every time.
