LR 7.3 : Intel HD Graphics 4600 (HD4600) support

I understand that LR has dropped support for Intel's HD4600.

But, when I check the "Use Graphics Processor" box under preferences, LR recognizes the processor and improves performance a lot on my 2560x1440 monitor. That's good news. I have the latest drivers from Intel.

The bad news is that the box gets unchecked each time I exit LR.

Is there a way around this? Why not let it be checked?

I'd be surprised if this is true. I have not seen anything that stated this GPU is no longer supported.

Sounds like your preference file needs to be deleted or renamed (or perhaps somehow it no longer has write permission?)

Thanks for the suggestion, but that doesn't work.

I renamed my preferences and Startup Preferences files. Started LR which created new ones. ticked the "use graphics controller" box, restarted LR. Box is unchecked on restart.
