Switching from Intel GPU to Nvidia GPU in Envy All-in-One

[paul0418]

I have an Envy All-in-One 32-a0055 running 64 bit Windows 10.  It comes with both integrated graphics on the Intel CPU and a discrete NVidia graphics board.  The default GPU is the Intel GPU, which I would like to switch to the NVidia GPU.  There is no way to choose the default GPU in the BIOS and I have tried the procedure I found with a Google search (set the NVidia GPU as the default in two sections of the NVidia Control Panel app).  No success.

Is there a way to make the NVidia GPU the default GPU for my system?

BH,

Thanks for the response.  This is the procedure I had found with a Google search.  This procedure did not work for me.

Have you tried disabling the "integrated GPU' in the bios? Or maybe its called something like "Integrated GPU " " Enable"" Disable"

Does it have a discrete graphics card?

[paul0418]

There is no item in the BIOS relating to the graphics cards, integrated or discrete.  Device Manager does confirm the presence of a discrete NVidia card.  Paul

By default, with the discrete GPU installed the motherboard should only use the discrete one.   What symptoms /signs do you see that makes you believe its using the Intel one?

When I go to Settings/Advanced Display Settings it tells me that my display is connected to Intel Graphics 630 instead of the NVidia card.
