Hi, there is a problem with laptops which have Intel iGPU + GTX 1050/1050Ti/1060/1070. The problem is whenever you perform some action on the OS, discrete GPU is triggered and it causes a 0.5s freeze. Some actions, which causes the dGPU to wake up and lock up the whole system for about 0,5 seconds are: Right click on desktop 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 Since the problem was OS based, it could be found on all laptop brands: ASUS, Acer, Clevo, Dell, Gigabyte, HP, Lenovo, Microsoft, MSI, Razer . This is nearly a three-year-old bug: August 25, 2015!

I couldn't have it said better. Microsoft, FIX IT!

It's not about being a bother to fix a big, it's about scale and impact. From the original context of this thread, and the repro video that was shared, it's a delay in right-clicking a UI item. The functionality still works, there's just a slight delay. Is the problem worse than that? Is there additional context that isn't included in the original post of this thread that highlights a broader issue? If there are more symptoms of this issue and it's bigger than currently described in the OP, please update/share as appropriate. Good morning Jason from Microsoft and forum cummunity. The reason I’m here is simple. I’m on board with the same problem as described in the first post from June 2017. Right click lag, left click lag, LAG . Yes I am here because of the small constant and such a minor issue as lag. Please let me make it clear I am not the usual complainer type but I am very aware and familiar with decent customer service. I can’t see any customer service here at all. It’s great to see you are being paid at Microsoft (Jason) for brushing the problems under the carpet all day, assuming that most people coming here are 12 year old snots without the knowledge of how to install a driver. This is shocking level of ignorance on your side to marginalize the problem going on for 6 months plus to desribe it as minor “right click issue” asking rhetorical questions about posting more information about the issue. Jason it’s all here and it looks like your answer is missing most of the information included in the discussion. Did you make an effort to read it through? “The funcionality works but there is slight delay”. I laughed out loud while reading this. Most of us here are for this reason: If I spend $2000+ on my system why do I have work with something that is crippled for months? Most people buying expensive gaming laptops excpect their experience with their systems to be flawless from the moment delivery man drops it at the door. Let me say you are not a part of this experience Jason/Microsoft. “So its broken but it works” attitude is arogant and if I were dealing with you over the counter I would seek the attention of your manager/supervisor. It seems internet still provides some with anonymous mighty overconfidence. Its broken. The way your system requests the usage of the gpu during simple tasking is BROKEN. Fix it. There is a useful sentence you can all learn at Microsoft “ We appologize for any incovenience caused. We will work hard with the development team to resolve the issue” Regards

No it doesn't fix it!!! I've got it installed right now...

I did tested it, nope its NOT fixed in 17110 rolled back to 1703.

OK folks. Some say that the new Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 17110 fixes the issue. I don't have my laptop with me. Could you give it a try and report back please?

Hi,

there is a problem with laptops which have Intel iGPU + GTX 1050/1050Ti/1060/1070. The problem is whenever you perform some action on the OS, discrete GPU is triggered and it causes a 0.5s freeze.

Some actions, which causes the dGPU to wake up and lock up the whole system for about 0,5 seconds are:

Right click on desktop
Left click on battery-icon in task-bar

Opening system control panel
Provocation any animation on task bar (e.g. thumbnail-preview, ...)
