The problem: It's been 2-3 days that my laptop is constantly using the nvidia GPU instead of the integrated one for simple things. Can't find WHAT is using the GPU. Battery autonomy dropped from 3-4 hours to less than 1 hour because of this. System is showing "high power usage", and ~20% CPU usage for no reason.
With the help of this post: Troubleshoot High CPU usage by the "System" process I managed to diagnose the issue. Here are the results:
The spikes are associated with this process : nvlddmkm.sys
This is the only process that "stand out" in the analysis, the others have fairly normal values.
What can i do to fix this ? I tried installing the latest nvidia drivers, did windows updates, etc...
