I have an aspire v17 Nitro with and I5-6300HQ running Windows 10 ver (1903).  Games like WOW and others will not show up they said drivers were outdated before the latest updates.  Intel's website says there is a driver update for my intel(r) hd 530 graphics, but I get an error message that says driver not valid for this computer when I try and install and acer only has old drivers.  What can I do?

    Forget about your Dedicated Intel UHD it is for routine display and the supplied Acer driver is sufficient. You need to update your Discrete Nvidia driver which is used to run your games and setup your Nvidia Control Center per my walkthrough below

    Please click YES if I answer your question, thankyou

    Make sure you do this below and always game on 100% battery BEFORE gaming and KEEP plugged in while gaming, in your Windows Power plan select High Performance when on AC and in Nitrosense make sure High performance is selected under "AC" tab

    1. Download and install the latest Nvidia drivers from here 
    https://www.nvidia.com/Download/Find.aspx. 

    2. Go to the Nvidia control center and click Manage 3d settings tab, then click the Global Settings tab and change Preferred Graphics processor from Auto select to your Nvidia GPU, do this by clicking the downward arrow to the right of Auto Select and select the Nvidia GPU. Then under the Program Settings tab select the programs and games that you want to run on the Nvidia GPU. Do the same under the Set PhysX Configuration tab
