I don't have an hybrid GPU laptop with an Nvidia dedicated GPU so I can't properly document the steps to force Python to use the onboard GPU.

If anyone can document the steps here (including screenshots, if possible), I will append the information to the wiki article.

Thanks!

Hello, I can't make screenshots of my own because the program appears in my native language, but the process is basically depicted here: https://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/2615/~/how-do-i-customize-optimus-profiles-and-settings%3F

Selecting python.exe and changing setting to make it use integrated graphics fixed the problem I was having.

Also thanks for your work on this :)

Hello Nicholas,

Please, check this steps as solution for your issue:

Open Nvidia Control Panel
Go to 3D Settings -> Manage 3D settings
Select "Program Settings" tab
Press Add button
In "Add" window press "Browse..." button
Select your Python.exe and press "Open"
In the "Manage 3D Settings" window select the preferred graphics processor for this program as "Integrated graphics"
Press "Apply" button
Repeat the process for other potentially relevant executables for your project: ipython.exe, jupyter-kernel.exe etc.
