Let’s begin.

Select Default GPU for Apps in Windows 11

Whether you have an Nvidia or AMD GPU, you can choose a graphics card for individual apps so that After Effects or Photoshop does not open with the slow Intel HD Graphics the next time you open. On Windows 11, you can do this straight from the Settings app. If your desired app is not on the list, you can look for them manually. From the drop-down menu, select whether you want to choose a graphics card for Desktop apps or Microsoft store apps, then click Browse. Microsoft Store apps are easier to find since Windows simply provides you a list. For desktop apps, you’ll need to find and select the EXE file, probably located somewhere in the Program Files or Program Files(x86) folders within the “C: Drive.” With the automatic driver updates in Windows 10 and 11, you no longer have to worry about the drivers while installing a new hardware component. With the new handy option to change the graphics card for each app, Windows 11 becomes much easier to handle tasks in any case.
