    Bien, en la barra de tareas, en los iconos ocultos (area de notificaciones) selecciona el NVIDIA GeForce experience con clic derecho y selecciona "Abrir el panel de control NVIDIA", te abrirá una ventana que tiene contenidos separados en 2 lados, en el panel izquierdo ve a "configuracion 3D" y luego donde dice "controlar la configuración 3d", después de ahi seleccionas la pestaña de "configuración global" y justo abajo donde dice "procesador de gráficos preferido" seleccionas "selección automática", adjuntaré una imagen de como luce, saludos!.

    Además, verifica que en las opciones de poder todo esté correcto. Algo que podhaber pasado es que previamente lo tuvieses en "Ahorro de Energía" y que ahora esté en "Alto Rendimiento".
