m15 R2, using intel GPU plugged in and Nvidia on battery
Have an issue that while running on battery, the Nvidia GPU gets used, the screen is bright and colorful and even in battery saver burns my battery within 15 - 20 mins just browsing. While plugged in everything gets duller and the nvidia GPU drops from 25% to 11%. In the Nvidia control panel I set it globally to use the Nvidia GPU and even tried designating apps but doesn't seem to work.
While on battery I tried manually setting it to use intel but still uses the Nvidia GPU. What gives? All drivers are up to date.

You need to set everything to nividia in the control panel but since windows has something that controls what the control panel did which is setting which apps use the high preformance nividia or the power saving intel.
Just search graphics settings and your good.
