Running msedgewebview2 on the dedicated GPU automatically

[MHebes]

We have a three.js frontend running on WebView2 (via tauri/wry) 1.2 on some dual-GPU (intel integrated + nvidia T600) windows laptops. The WebView2 process is pushing the integrated graphics to 100% utilization. We'd like to run this on the beefier nvidia card instead.

This is possible manually by changing the windows Graphics settings for "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\EdgeWebView\Application\126.0.2592.113\msedgewebview2.exe" to use the nvidia GPU, but that's not really something I want to tell all my users 🙂

Anyone have any experience with this or suggestions? I think it might require support from WebView2 and I'm not even sure it's possible.

Seems like exporting NvOptimusEnablement (and AmdPowerXpressRequestHighPerformance) from the binary would do it? But not certain. Definitely not something I can change myself
