Changing Default Graphic Adapter to Nvidia's External Graphics Card predator g3-572

So I wanted to use my Nvidia Card for my normal Display even if the laptop is at idle. 
Reason: I have installed a software called Spacedesk which kinds of lets you use your tab as an extended display over a LAN. Now when I extend my display to that screen, it shows that it is uses the SPACEDESK GRAPHICS DRIVER although it uses the intel GPU underneath.I think it picks up whatever the default Graphics Driver is for display 1.I have gone through their documentation to see if there is a custom way to edit this but I couldn't find it. So I thought of changing my default GPU to be always as NVIDIA's GPU.

I have tried the NVIDIA'S control panel methods to force every application to use NVIDIA'S Graphic Driver but that does not seem to work as the internal display uses intel GPU. I have attached some screenshots for reference and also my system details. I don't think its possible but if anyone has a work around it would be great.

I would be grateful if anyone could come up with a solution.

    @Hagemaroo in the Processes tab, check the process that is currently using Intel GPU. Use that name of that process to force it running on the Nvidia GPU

    Thanks Bro,
    Forced it to use the spacedeskservice.exe but still it uses the integrated GPU. I had actually tried this idea but was stupid to do that on the tray although your idea of going through the processes helped me shift some other software load to the external GPU which offseted it satisfactorilly. Thanks though.
