Laptop only uses integrated, not even 1% is used of dedicated graphics card(Acer Aspire 315-23G)

I have been trying for the last 3 days to see why the computer doesn't use it's dedicated graphics card, and sadly i did not manage to do so, the main reason i would want that is first, because the dedicated graphics card is obviously a better option for gaming, and second, the integrated graphics card takes 2GB of my RAM to use for it self. The computer is completely stock, i have not messed with any of the major configurations such as overclocking and things of the sort, it was bought about 3 to 4 days ago.

The game usually chooses which card to use. The integrated card should use about 10% of total RAM max. Where do you see 2GB being used? 2GB+ vis used by the Windows OS. Also check Device Manager display adapters to make sure the adapter is turned on.
