Windows 10 Won't use NVIDIA GPU, Uses Integrated Graphics Instead! (LAPTOP)

I have a similar (same) problem with my ASUS laptop.

My Laptop: ASUS F550L laptop

SPECS:

Windows: Windows 10

Processor: Intel Core i7-4500MQ CPU @ 1.8GHz

RAM: 8 GB

System Type: 64-bit Operating System, x64-based processor.

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GT 740M

Integrated GPU: ?

DirectX Version: ?

I have tried the steps listed above but they did not resolve the problem.

I have attempted to download an updated driver but my driver was reported as 'up to date'.

What do I do now?

 

Windows 10 Won't use NVIDIA GPU, Uses Integrated Graphics Instead! (LAPTOP)

I recently upgraded to Windows 10, and after the installation I went to launch a game from my library, but instead of the usual 60 fps that I am used to, I received a meager 23 fps. I immediately went to check on my NVIDIA Control Center, but it would not
open.

I then found the newest driver for my graphics card and downloaded it, all went well, was able to open up the control center once again.

I set all of my games to the "High performance NVIDIA graphics card" and clicked Apply changes. I then opened up a game and to my surprise, it still did not use the NVIDIA GPU, instead using the Integrated card. So I closed the game, Right Click on the Game>Run
With Graphics Processor>High Performance NVIDIA Graphics Processor.

It still did not work.

My Laptop: HP ENVY-17 jo53ea

SPECS:

Windows: Windows 10

Processor: Intel Core i7-4700MQ CPU @ 2.40GHz

RAM: 12 GB

System Type: 64-bit Operating System, x64-based processor.

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GT 740M

Integrated GPU: Intel HD 4000

DirectX Version: 12

Please help! This basically renders my games unplayable!

 

Manage external monitor with GeForce GPU instead of Intel GPU

I bought a new external touch monitor for my laptop.

It works fine (display and touch). However, the image is a bit pixelated. I noticed that Windows is managing both laptop monitor and external monitor with the built-in Intel GPU instead of the GeForce one. I am OK with this configuration for the laptop GPU, as i barely use any graphically heavy operation, and it's better for battery life. However, for the external monitor, i need to compensate the pixelated image, so i want to manage it via GeForce GPU. Also, the laptop is always plugged in to an AC adapter power source while using the external monitor.

• Built in Intel(R) HD Graphics 630
  
• internal GeForce GTX 1050 GPU
