Windows 10: Can't find configuration menu on my bios startup page

hi,
i have

laptop ACER Aspire v3-471G running on windows 10 pro, version 2004.
the device specification for the GPU:
1. intel core i5-3210M 2.5GHz with turbo boost up to 3.1GHz
2. NVIDIA GeForce GT630M 2GB dedicated VRAM.

my question are:
1. how do i switch GPU? because the configuration menu on my BIOS start up page is not showing. Also using windows 10 setting on the recovery menu, then selecting troubleshoot restart in advance mode there is no UEFI settings to change my GPU option fron integrated to discrete.
2. if i open my task manager under the performance i see the GPU 0 is NVIDIA, but is alway 0%. why is that?
3. if i open my GeForce GT630M icon it show a message saying "inactive". how to activate?

4. if i try to open my NVIDIA control panel, under manage 3D setting, then under preferred graphic processors, i changed auto to high performance NVIDIA processor, then choose apply. I shows a message "ACCESS DENIED" how to fix it?

Please, anybody who have experience on fixing this kind of problem reply my question with steps to fix it.
also i appreciate it and thank you

:)

 

Can't get GPU-Z to start with Windows 8.1 startup

I'm not sure how to do that. Could you list the steps for a noob?

 

No startup boot menu

Hello Kimoefat,

Thank you for posting your concern in Microsoft Community and welcome to the Windows 10 Family.

As an initial recommendation, I would suggest you to access the System configuration utility and check if the Operating System installation path for Ubuntu exists. To do so, follow the below steps.

• Type msconfig in the search bar and select System Configuration from the search results.
• Select the boot tab in the System configuration console to check if the installation path for Ubuntu exists.

If it exists, next logical step is to check if the boot menu time out has been set to 0, which results in Boot menu not showing up.

The boot menu time-out determines how long the boot menu is displayed before the default boot entry is loaded. It is calibrated in seconds. To change the boot menu time-out, use the Bootcfg
/timeout switch. Valid values are from 0 through 999. You cannot use Bootcfg to set an indefinite time-out.

You can run the following Run command line to set the boot menu time-out accordingly. To do so, follow the below steps.

• 
  Press Windows key + X, select
  Command prompt (Admin) to bring up elevated Command prompt
  
• 
  Type in the following command: bootcfg /timeout 10
  
  timeout 10 will set the time frame to 10 seconds
  

However, if the Boot path for Ubuntu does not exist in the boot menu of System Configuration utility, I would suggest you to check if the Ubuntu is overridden by the Windows installation or if the Ubuntu installation files are corrupted.

Hope the above information is helpful. If you need further information, feel free to write to us and we would be happy to help you.

Thank You.
