How to force Visual Studio to NOT use the dedicated GPU but only the integrated graphics?

Viewed 969

Is there any way to configure Visual Studio 2017 to not use the dedicated GPU but only the integrated graphics?

TL;DR

The particular problem is with my laptop which has a faulty dedicated graphic card, while its integrated graphic card is fine. And whenever the dedicated one is in use, I get the machine frozen with beautiful pink or brown, or green, or etc. screen. So waiting for the service, before replacing the GPU I would like to be able to work on my Visual Studio.

The question is related to the programming IDE, so I decided to put it on StackOverflow.
