I've tried several ways like in nitro sense app, but there's no setting that allows me to turn off optimus I've tried with turning off my computer and as soon as I turn it on I pressed F2, went to the advanced tab and there wasn't any settings.
Open NVidia control panel go in (Manage display mode) and select what you want.
I’m sorry to hear that you’re having trouble with Nvidia Optimus on your Acer Nitro 5 AN515-55. Here are a few steps you can try to resolve this issue: Nvidia Control Panel: Right-click on your desktop and select “Nvidia Control Panel”. Go to “3D Settings” and choose either Intel or Nvidia as the preferred graphics processor1. This will make the GPU you have chosen to work most of the time1.
Disable in Device Manager: You can also try to disable the discrete GPU in Device Manager1. To do this, press Windows + X on your keyboard, go to “Device Manager”, expand “Display adapters”, right-click on your graphics card and select "Disable device"1.
