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:

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.

Laptop Skylake CPUs (i.e. the ones where it all started) were released after Windows 10, so it would be pretty hard to determine, considering no laptops with the issue even have proper Windows 8/8.1 drivers.
I guess it doesn't happen on macOS because, well, they're different systems and are built differently (read: better).

Yeah sorry I meant to add saying it is a workaround/bug to my post to specify it wasn't fully a solution. By doing that as a test, it should hopefully narrow down the main cause of it. I just hope someone will fix it soon.

Is there a way by tweaking the bios or installing a custom bios.I know it voids warranty and all but is there a way?

There are methods to mod the BIOS but this is a windows issue and a BIOS mod won't help at all.

After the last update from Microsoft (KB4089848 the one that fixes the right click), I have gained hope towards this issue. Yes, there isn't any explanation of the fix in the notes of KB4089848 but it fixed the issue partially; I am kind of likely to think that the upcoming Spring Creators update may fix the issue even though there isn't any explanation of the problem and the insider program didn't fix.

Spring Creators Update is RTM'd and it's dubbed 1803. It does not fix the issue, sorry.

For real. Any major updates should be done through a clean install, because updating through the wizard will always f things up.
Also, are Intel deleting comments? I got a few messages on my email which I can't find here, when I click "reply to this message" it says "Not Found."

No . Then we have to wait for its cumulative updates as the earliest solution.

I see Intel advertising new processors and they still can't fix this problem. ,
Look at this new Dell core i9, wow what a brilliant machine, bla bla bla.....
I see Apple is gonna drop Intel like a hot potato.

The specified 'right click' is not there but many other things like:
File explorer
when you right click-> display settings
click on battery,
firefox etc... just like the other windows-es!!
You would face lag and freeze...
It was tested with NVIDIA Optimus GPU State Viewer....

Yes i have installed also ltsb. It has the freeze i think a bit more than other windows. Right click freeze is not there which is kinda strange. The latest update which dix it was for 1709 and these windows are 1603.
Hoqever in a strange way it feels faster to me because there are no additional windows services running and browsing file explorer is faster. So i will stick with this version since not even version 1803 will fix it
