Hello.. I need help here
My games won't run with nvidia, they always run with Intel instead. I can't find any fix from the internet so here I am. Most answers I read on the internet is "Go to nvidia control panel> go to manage 3D settings> click global settings> set preferred graphics proccessor to nvidia".
I've done that many times but still having the same problem right now.
This problem always happen after I reinstall my laptop (Windows 10) and I was always able to fix this... accidentally, and was able to play my games without a problem. Too bad I don't remember how to do that and cannot repeat my luck again.

These are my attempts to fix this :
- Optimize the games in nvidia geforce experience
- Open nvidia control panel, and switch my preferred graphic processor to "High-performance NVIDIA processor"
- Set my PhsyX processor to nvidia
- Right click on the game.exe and choose to run with nvidia (even if it says my nvidia is the default graphic processor)


My graphic processors :
NVIDIA Geforce GT 740M and
Intel HD 4000

I apreciate it if anyone can help me solve this issue.

PS : Sorry I'm not so good at computer and english.
