Description

Feature Request: Display Switchable Graphics Status in System Details

When opening System Details, the Graphics section currently only shows a single GPU (for example, Intel Graphics) even on systems that have switchable graphics.

It would be very helpful if this section could display both GPUs, the integrated GPU and the dedicated/switchable GPU. Additionally, it would be useful if the system could indicate whether the secondary GPU is properly configured and functioning. This would make it easier for users to verify that switchable graphics are set up correctly and operating as expected.

Research direction

Start by locating the System Details screen and the Graphics section that currently reports one GPU. Trace how GPU information is detected and determine how configuration status can be assessed. Done means the section shows both integrated and dedicated GPUs and indicates whether the secondary GPU is functioning.
