[Eset GUI forces macbook to discrete GPU]

Temporary workaround until ESET fixes this: Add the property as described in: https://developer.apple.com/library/content/qa/qa1734/_index.html

 

At own risk: 

 

1. Close ESET Antivirus

2. Open Terminal

3. Navigate to correct folder: "cd /Applications/ESET\ Cyber\ Security\ Pro.app/Contents/"

4. Open Info.plist: "sudo nano Info.plist"

5. Scroll to botom and before the final /dict add the following: 

        <key>NSSupportsAutomaticGraphicsSwitching</key>

        <true/>

6. Hit ctrl+x to quit and and y to save. 

7. Restart ESET and notice how it only uses iGPU now

I am looking for the same solution, i would love to keep running it in the background but i just can't afford it due to the severe battery impact.
