Nividia error when selecting main graphics card

[erikas123]

Hello,
so I'm trying to launch a game with my nvidia graphics card, becouse if i just run it it runs with my intergrated graphics card, and for some reason when i right click the game and press Run with graphics processor and then select high performance nvidia processor , i get this error : You do not have privalegies to select the graphics processor in this menu. Select the prefferd graphics processor for this program in the NVIDIA control panel.
When i try to do that , i go into my control panel, and then select the game, and set it to run as the high performance nvidia processor, and then click apply, it still runs with my intergrated processor. Any ideas?

Solved (for me). When I would right-click my shortcut to a game, and then click "Run with graphics processor", I would get the message "You don't have the privilege to select the graphics processor in this menu". If you have the problem, try my solution that worked for (I know, it is counter-intuitive):

1. Right-click the game's shortcut.
2. Click Compatibility
3. Make sure "Run this program as an administrator" is NOT checked (may need to click Change settings for all users to uncheck it there).
4. Click Apply, then OK.

Thank you so much!!

This solution worked perfectly for me too..!!
