Windows 10: Is there an app that searches your computer to find all exe files so they can be added to...

I have a laptop with a discrete gpu and I want it default for every application instead of intel graphics. I cannot be bothered to set it for every windows process and app by hand and need way to set it as default or for every app. I have tried regedit for the default gpu but it does absolutely nothing. Does someone know a way???

Windows 10 Search doesn't include any *.EXE files

Hi,

The .exe files in Windows 10 are classified as "applications" that's why the returned search results are not showing them as .exe files. You need to change the view settings of
File Explorer for you to be able to view them as .exe files. To do so, kindly follow these steps:

• Type file explorer on the search bar.
• Click on File Explorer.
• Click on View.
• Click on Options.
• Click on Change folder and search options.
• Click on View.
• Under Advanced settings, uncheck Hide extensions for known file types.
• Click on OK.

Let us know if you need further assistance with your concern.
