Acer nitro 5 AN515-52 GeForce GTX 1050 dont work

hello, i have a nitro 5 8GB memory AN515-52 i7 8th Gen with geforce 1050 Win 10 64bit Build 19043 SMBIOS 3.0
Bios version 1.28
GTX 1050 with driver version 30.0.14.7141
The question is:
The graphics card isn't working when I open games or graphics creation and editing applications.
In the "Device Manager", under "Display adapters" 2 items appear:
Intel UHD Graphics 630
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050
(ps.: "Power Options" set to "High Performance")
WHAT I TRIED TO DO:
I've already tried to uninstall the drivers and install with drivers downloaded directly from the Acer website that I had already saved in a folder. always worked, but now it's not working.
I again downloaded everything updated (7/23/21). I installed it through the device manager and it recognized all the drivers, including the one from GeForce.
I restarted and it still doesn't work, although with the driver installed correctly.
With win update active, I tried again and installed it, but it doesn't work either.
I installed GeForce Experience. and everything has been cleaned and re-installed, but it still doesn't activate the card. In the program it claims that the installed drivers are the most up-to-date.
NEED HELP:
I don't know how to solve this as the card appears in the "device manager", the drivers were installed correctly but the card effectively doesn't work.
I don't know if this happens often, because in several forums I've searched, I've seen no problem where the drivers are installed correctly and the card still doesn't work.
