    Any one had any luck saving setting in Nvidia Control Panel.. I have install and uninstall drivers and apparently nothing is working. I choose Pot Player or Windows Media to run on the GTX 980M card but somehow it always run on the integrated graphics card.. My 4k content runs like crap on the Intels Card.

    I contacted Tech Support, they tried to take control of my Laptop through Alien Contact but were not successful. After attempting several steps nothing worked out, 3 hours later my Cell Phone(I really need a Hardline) died and that was the end of it. Tech was polite and tried his best to help me, it just didn't work.. I came to the realization that I would sent back the Laptop but before I would tried a Clean Windows 8.1 Install... Followed every step and It work... My system is running flawless now.. Settings are saved, Pot Player and other programs are finally using the 980M.

    Reinstall Windows 8.1 and follow Driver Installation Order.. problem is fixed

    We're glad it's working fine now. It may have been an update that was installed previously.
