Ok, so now when i run a program lets say lightroom / chrome (for video playback) / photoshop or basically anything on my surface.  In task manager it shows the 620 GPU (integrated) and the GTX 1060 running at the same so if i open chrome with "use Nvidia" my computer tells me that both GPU's are running the same 620 23% 1060 23% mind you that this is the only thing running. Chrome / task manager. 

TDLR; I spent tons of freaking money on this laptop for a dedicated GPU.  I have a few laptops with dGPU's and they all work fine.

So why is it that now, it seems that the integrated gpu still does 90% of the work, while displaying the same stats on both cards (the gtx 1060 will show the same % being used as the 620, but when you go and look only like 4% of the 1060 is actually being used)

I can barely use Lightroom CC on this machine / where i can run premiere pro PS Lightroom all at once on a 3 year old MSI and barely use any resources..

Come on MS i just bought this thing 3 weeks ago. what is the dealio ? Has anyone else noticed that if you set a program to run using the NVIDIA high performance GPU, it seems to try and use both GFX processors ?  and it seems worse than just running the integrated Speed wise.

Really wishing i said screw the Surface book 2 right now.. saved myself 1k and went with another brand.  But i buy Surface products because they used to be the best windows experience you could own, seems i did not do enough research before buying.  Power brick = not powerful enough to run the hardware, GPU's seem to conflict and or just not work. The SB2 seems slow as hell on a brand new computer than my Surface pro 2 and 3 or any of my i5 or i7 laptops (non MS brand)

I would love for the equipment i bought at a premium price to actually do what it says it can do.

Please Respond MICROSOFT ASAP.

meh,

I understand that you would like to choose which GPU should be used:

1 easily (not buried in the depths of windows) 

and/or

2 systemwide as well as on a per App basis

1: The only simple way I can think of is by setting the Nvidia App to include choice of GPU on the right click Menu of an exe file and it's shortcuts. 

This will not work on Windows store apps. 

2 I cannot think of an easy way to change the GPU systemwide. The reason for this is probably that you can separate the dGPU from the regular CPU. MS probably fears system crashes when separating the two with the wrong GPU selected. 

Perhaps MS should consider a full redesign of the integration of battery/power management, the separation mechanism/software and the GPU/dGPU process. 

The problem is complex and probably the result of design choice/system integration and not a bug. This would explain, why MS is not really acknowledging the problem.

...does Windows 10 1803 build 17134 provide means to set which GPU should be used? 

Unlike on macOS, that new Windows setting is not system-wide and is instead only applied on a per-app basis.  And if you do need to switch the setting back and forth for whatever reason, it's burried too far down to make such switching convenient.

On a Mac, the system automatically chooses the appropriate GPU to use based on GPU load through automatic GPU switch.  It seems that there are a number of sources that purport that Windows supposedly does this as well under certain conditions.  But, just looking at Task Manager to track how often any of my apps do this automatically, it comes to zero total.

I'd really like the same system-wide feature available on Windows to simply make the GPU selection a system-wide setting.  Particularly when my laptop is getting power from the wall, I generally want to maximize my system performance.
