Hi,
there is a problem with laptops which have Intel CPU + GTX 1050/1050Ti/1060/1070/GT 640M. The problem is, whenever you try to do some action on the OS, discrete GPU is triggered and it causes a 0.5s freeze.
Some actions, which cause the dGPU to wake up and lock up the whole system for about 0,5 seconds are:
- Left click on battery-icon in task-bar
- Opening Chrome-browser
- Opening Windows Image Viewer (app + classic Foto viewer)
- Opening system control panel
- Provocation any animation on task bar (e.g. thumbnail-preview, ...)
- Loading a new tab in Firefox
Here is a video demonstrating Display Setting Freeze:

Another video showing dGPU switch on a lot of simple tasks:

Another one:

We have tried updating every software possible, but no luck.
- Intel driver
- NVIDIA driver
- Chipset driver
- BIOS
- Firmware
The problem can be found on all laptop brands: ASUS, Acer, Clevo, Dell, Gigabyte, HP, Lenovo, MSI, Razer.The problem can be solved by either disabling Intel GPU, which forces the system to always work with NVIDIA, or disabling NVIDIA GPU. Both of them is not an option though, as if you disable Intel, not only you will drain the battery faster, but also some games will stop working. If you disable NVIDIA, then what is the point of buying a laptop with a discrete GPU?There is a also a workaround: configuring https://github.com/jobeid/TrayPwrD3 TrayPwrD3 to always work with NVIDIA in the backgound. This keeps the NVIDIA GPU alive but also drains battery faster. And there is no poaint in that as it renders Optimus useless!So, manufacturers have to come up with a fix.Thank you.

Hello folks,
Thank you for your patience while we investigated this further. I understand the frustrations caused by this issue and apologize for the inconvenience it may be bringing you. By now, most of you have installed our latest graphics driver (https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/27650 15.65.5.4982) and seen the right-click desktop issue resolved (and some other right-click stutters as well).
After implementing the code change, we noticed there were some remaining right-click stutters happening in various areas of the OS experience and that's what we've been investigating until now; we wanted to be very clear if we were still contributing to them. We've now concluded that we are not, we're only in the stack 1 millisecond which is acceptable and the remaining time is from other parties and the three others in the stack, to the best of my knowledge are aware, investigating, and treating this with high priority.
This concludes Intel's investigation so I'm now considering this thread closed, though Intel will remain in communication with the other parties to assist in any way we can should they desire.
Special thanks to coolrecep for reporting this and all the others helping with config details and testing so we could improve our drivers as quickly as possible. We value all of your contributions.

Occasionally I've found two users having the problem with Lenovo W530.
https://forums.geforce.com/default/topic/860554/geforce-mobile-gpus/windows-10-and-optimus/20/ https://forums.geforce.com/default/topic/860554/geforce-mobile-gpus/windows-10-and-optimus/20/ (user whitee-puzzle)

My point is, I have the same notebook Lenovo W530 at work, but it does not have those issues with the following setup:
Win 10 Version: 1709 Build 16299.248
Intel Driver Version: 10.18.10.4358
Nvidia Driver Version : 382.05
The Intel driver is somewhat older though. Not sure if it is worth to check that Nvidia driver version with and older Intel driver.
For my Gigabyte P37XV6 I can go back to Intel Driver 15.40.14.4352. I will give it a try in combination with the aforementioned Nvidia driver and report back.

Unfortunately, for my Gigabyte P37XV6 the driver combination I mentioned did not change anything. Seems that the older Intel driver for Lenovo (10.18.10.4358 )came without functionality (or bugs) that newer versions have. 15.40.14.4352 seems to be already "infested" ...
I'm now thinking about getting a cheap Headless Ghost HDMI plug. Found it interesting since people said, that the problem does not come up once a display is connected, in this case a dummy.

I have tried all the solutions told by many many people. I'll try 1703 and finally tell that it does not fix the issue. But I'm really bored. Like really!

I know that tool is free and it's really awesome that it was provided to the public. I'm just curious about alternative possibilities. Should that thingie work as expected I won't depend on maintenance of that TrayPwrD3 tool in case some Windows Update f*** it up, which seems to be worse than a 50:50 chance these days . E.g., should Direct X13 come up, it might cease working. So long

I also noticed that on my Dell 7577, 1703 works best, except UAC screen. But i also noticed one thing- in device manager, with all installed drivers, there are one or two unidentified devices. Which i suppose are somehow detected after some updates. Because on 1709 i dont see that. Other than that, works flawlessly. But again, u have to disable at all - updates and push garbage from Microsoft

if you identify which those deviced are could help troubleshoot the issue. Maybe those 2 are causing the lag. For exampel are intel and nvidia idemtified correctly?

As far as i remember both nVidia and Intel were recognized. Now i'm on 1709 tho. But, i may revert to 1703 soon if this will continue as it is now. And i will make sure to find what is missing.

Installed 17115.1 and it does not fix the issue at all. But I gotta say, I felt just a little less freeze duration. Like 0.3s instead of 0.5s... I would like you to try it.

Had a good run without any problems on my Inspiron 7577 with GTX 1060 and i7 7700HQ but I can't exactly pinpoint what caused the system to behave normally. I have downloaded TrayPwrD3 but had it off during this time period when the laptop was absolutely fine. GeForce Experience notification icon also pointed the fact that the 1060 graphics card was not active during that time as well.
So how did this happen exactly? No lag on right click, while opening Control Center or anything else on that matter without having the activate the NVidia card or have TrayPwrD3 on at all. I am not sure if any of the Windows updates I had to download before restarting the computer and noticing that the lag is back have anything to do with the problem re-appearing or was it just the fact that I restarted the PC that made it re-appear ...

Kill the processes? Helios 300 is on the list. G-Sync does not solve it AFAIK.
