Monitors not showing when graphics performance preference set to iGPU #66

Wanted to start with saying thanks for making this app! I use multiple monitors so iCue doesn't pick up my main monitor for some reason, but this works perfectly!

With that, it does use a lot of GPU power, and in trying to see if I can reduce the load on my GPU, I tried offloading it to the CPU by setting the preferred graphics to the iGPU instead of my GPU. When I do that though, icue-ambilight only shows the monitor that's connected to my motherboard and not the rest. This could just be a limitation of Windows, but when I have it set to the GPU instead, it shows all my monitors including the one that's connected to the motherboard so it seems like there is some kind of pass through already so maybe the other way around should work too.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Have at least a monitor connected to GPU and one connected to motherboard and both show in icue-ambilight sources
  2. Go to Windows settings > System > Display > Graphics settings
  3. Add icue-ambilight.exe to Graphics performance preference and set to Power Saving
  4. Restart icue-ambilight, only the monitor connected to motherboard shows in sources
