    Hello togehter,
    I've got the 2019 Razer Pro and the 2019 Stealth.

    On both notebooks I installed the new Windows 1909 Update. Since the update I can no longer make individual settings for nVidia Optimus.

    If I manually specify the Intel graphics card for a game, this is ignored and the nVidia card is still used.

    Also the new installation of the current drivers doesn't help! I had to undo the 1909 update of Windows 10!

    So be warned, because I think this is not only the case with Razer devices.

    Greetings,
    The Mythbusater

    Jump on new and shiny ain't so smart. The payback is being Micro$ofts unpaid guinea pig so you can help them lessen some of the bugs before the Win 7 users and companies is forced over on latest and greatest coming January.


    Which version do you want? Woody on Computerworld
    Each of the three available versions has significant features — and they aren’t the ones you’ll read about in the documentation:

    Version 1809 — By far the most stable version at this point. It’s been baking out in the wild for almost a year and, in spite of a horrendous rollout, has had few hiccups lately.

    As you can see....Woody has stolen Pooopusan's clothes :D

    Ooooh so is that why my new GT76 is using he Nvidia GPU sometimes and I can't figure out why?

    It shipped with 1809 but I had to update so I could run the Xbox beta app for my Gamepass, since it has to have at least 1903, and 1909 is what it had ready for install.

    So can I rollback to 1903 somehow?
