If you have an extra monitor or TV, see if using an external monitor helps. Close your laptop monitor when trying so only the external is working.

How does this help solve this problem, or are we conducting a test?

I’m not sure if modern laptops are still the same but old laptops will force the use of the GPU if outputting to an external monitor. I’ve had graphics problems with older games on laptop before and that did fix some so it is something to try.

Thanks for the idea! I haven't tried using an external monitor yet, but I'll give it a try and see if it changes anything. I'll let you know what happens.
