I just purchased an Acer Nitro 5 gaming laptop(Model:AN515-54-599H) and when I go to DXDIAG and Display Settings, it shows that my laptop is using an Intel UHD graphics instead of my GeForce GTX 1650 which came with the laptop. I go to NVIDIA Control Panel and it shows this:
So I would appreciate any help, thanks!

    The Intel integrated UHD 630 gpu will always be used for low graphics framerates on your  AN515-54, the nvidia GF is only there for intensive graphics and gaming, this is for the purpose of saving battery power. You cant set your nvidia control panel settings to have the nvidia GF to handle all the graphic processing all the time as that is the purpose of this design and why Acer and other manufacturers design laptops the way that the AN515-54 is designed, you don't need the high nvidia graphics all the time as your Intel UHD 630 gpu can handle these type of graphics just as good as the nvidia GF, simple.
