Laptop checks
Connect power, disable battery-saver modes, and check the vendor's performance profile. If the game still selects the wrong adapter, record the GPU names, driver version, store, and build for support.
FAQ
Is the integrated GPU always the cause of a crash?
No. It is one possible configuration problem; keep crash diagnosis separate from GPU selection.
Should I force DirectX settings first?
No. Verify the adapter and game files first because those changes are reversible and easier to compare.
