Microsoft PowerToys version

Area(s) with issue?

Quick Accent

Steps to reproduce

When I open a game to play. The Nvidia Control Panel alerts me that the computer is still using the integrated graphics or "optimus" mode rather than switching to the dedicated graphics. The Nvidia control panel tells me to stop Quick Accent as it is preventing the computer from using the dedicated graphics. After closing or "exiting" the power toys program through the system tray icon, can the computer switch to using the dedicated graphics mode.

✔️ Expected Behavior

I expect being able to play a game without having to exit PowerToys through the system tray.

❌ Actual Behavior

I have to exit PowerToys through the system tray before I play a game. This is bothersome because I sometimes play in the morning before heading to class where I need the Quick Accent and PowerToys Run features.
