    Or will a program always show in the Nvidia GPU activity if it's on a monitor that's driven by the Nvidia GPU, even if the intGPU is doing the rendering?

    Sorry, cross-posted.

    I understand what you're saying.

    Many thanks again!

    Oh yes, I believe that I've seen this happen too. Sometimes it can be hard to tell what's what in a mixed configuration like this.

    I would uninstall and reinstall the Nvidia Driver to see if there is a change. You can do a clean install to reset the Nvidia settings too. I had to manually install the RTX Manager from a separate download. I used the Nvidia Driver on the Nvidia website.

    Hence the reason to disable Hybrid I guess... Keeps it simple!

    Thanks again

    Actually, I had another idea. This is perfect!

    I just cross-mapped F10, F11, and F12 with PrtSc, Home, and End.
    Now, with Fn-lock off (Fn is not required for F1-F9), PrtSc, Home, and End perform their labeled functions but I can use Fn to access F10, F11, and F12 (which I use much less frequently than the others... maybe never).
    I was worried that this circular mapping wouldn't actually work, but it seems to function fine.

    Might be annoying if you switch between the internal keyboard and an external USB keyboard. Now the key mappings on the external keyboard will be janked instead. Right now I use the internal keyboard exclusively. Though if you think you'd never use F10-F12, you could avoid the bottom three mappings there and it would be good with both keyboard types.

    [Edit] Mapping right alt and ctrl to pg up and down. Brilliant.
    [Edit 2] Realized that I do use F11 to "full-screen" some apps. OK with having to press Fn for this.

    Doesn't Visual Studio map F10/F11 to 'step over'/'step into' while debugging?

    That's a big problem for me, IDEs make a lot of use out of the F-keys.

    Why did Dell have to revert their very nice keyboard layout...

    Is there a way to turn off the dGPU in device manager or somewhere similar?
    Wondering since the dGPU still stays on even though I have made sure that there are no programs running on it.
