Costs money but works with only minor quirks when switching between iGPU and dGPU.

just saying, if I have to install some sketchy software to restore functionality that has existed on the platform flawlessly for almost four decades then it's not a viable platform anymore.

I'm not defending Microsoft but to say that Stardock is sketchy has no base in reality.

oh I know stardock. they've been around in some way shape or form since windows 98.

my point is, I shouldn't have to install anything to restore functionality.

This is handy for home users, but at work I am stuck. Installing third party software is not allowed.
