Description

### Your use case

#### What would you like to do?

Run element app on the less powerful GPU when two GPUs are presented.

#### Why would you like to do it?

My laptop has two GPUs, Intel and NVidia.

I need the NVidia GPU for other purpose, mostly hardware accelerated machine learning.

Element app always run on the NVidia GPU which causes interruption.

#### How would you like to achieve it?

A command-line option to specify on which GPU user wants the app to run.

### Have you considered any alternatives?

Tried adding the app to Windows Graphics setting and enforce Intel GPU. But after each upgrade, the `.exe` path changes by a different version number and thus the setting is no longer effective.
