💻 Real-World Use Case: Laptops with iGPU + dGPU

For laptops without a MUX switch, Windows often keeps the dGPU active, tanking your battery even when you’re just watching YouTube.
Use this app to:

✅ Disable dGPU during light tasks to save power
✅ Re-enable it when gaming, editing, or running heavy stuff
⚠️ Never disable all GPUs — unless you want to embrace darkness (literally)

🧾 How to Use

1. Run GPU_Toggle.exe as administrator
2. Use the GUI to enable or disable the GPU
3. Minimize to tray anytime — right-click tray icon for Exit

To build a standalone .exe file from gpu_toggle.py, run:

 pyinstaller --onefile --windowed --icon=gamer.ico  --add-data "gamer.ico;." gpu_toggle.py

🪄 Powershell will handle device control under the hood. Expect a short blue flash.
