Description

I'm using LNApp on my laptop, with Windows 10 installed. LNApp keeps my dedicated GPU active all the time. This might increase power consumption, thus drain the battery.

Steps to reproduce the behavior

Launch LNApp, then observe the tray icon of GPU driver.

Expected behavior

LNApp makes use of integrated GPU only, instead of dedicated GPU.

Actual behavior

LNApp keeps the dedicated GPU active all the time when it's running.

Screenshot and/or logs if applicable

I ran into this as well a few releases ago. I had to use NVIDIA Control Panel to set lightning.exe to use Integrated Graphics only.
