Quick Accent

Steps to reproduce

Im running into a bug when I try to run a game on my laptop. I own an Asus G14 (2023) that has Nvidia Advanced Optimus, which automatically changes which GPU runs the display. Most of the time, the integrated graphics in my processor runs the display, but when I open a game, it automatically tries to switch to the dedicated GPU, but I run into a problem. The PowerToys.PowerAccent.exe blocks the switching process, so I have to close the powertoys app and only then it switches.

✔️ Expected Behavior

The app should automatically switch to the dedicated GPU and not block the switching process.

❌ Actual Behavior

The PowerToys.PowerAccent.exe blocks the display mode change, so I have to close the PowerToys app for it to start working.

Experiencing same issue on same device make/model. Perhaps a G14 problem?
