Mid 2011 MBpro not switching back to integrated GPU

Just upgraded to 1P4. When I type in my unlock code, the GPU changes to discrete (Nvidia GT 330M) but the problem becomes when I exit the program, the GPU will not switch back even if I use gfxcardstatus to try to force it. I have to kill the mini app for it to switch back and then put the GPU on integrated only and then restart the mini app. This is quite annoying. Is there a fix or work around? I much prefer running the GPU in auto switching since there are apps I run that require this.

    This sounds a little like the known issue (right at the bottom of the known issues) for 2009/2010 MB Pros.

    Thats exactly it. In version 3, however, it always switched back to iGPU

    Hi @audiomixer,

    This is an OS X driver bug for those older `09/`10 MacBook Pros as Stephen_C correctly mentioned. We're trying to find a workaround but so far, no success yet.
