Windows 10: Changing Display option from Intel HD to NVidia GeForce

My laptop has a NVidia GeForce 940 mx graphic card but due to format (which was done by a person from Microsoft) of my laptop, the display card is set to intel. When I ran the directX diagnosis, it said my graphic card was the intel chip family. but it also said I have the nvidia graphic card. how do I change the display card?

I have a NVIDIA GeForce graphics card as well as an integrated Intel HD graphics card

I have a NVIDIA GeForce graphics card as well as an integrated Intel HD graphics card. I know that by default NVIDIA is disabled, so I switched the setting on most of my programs to use NVIDIA however whenever I change it for Chrome it still uses Intel. I tried changing the GPU back and forth couple time, but nothing worked.
I am using MSI GP62 7RD Leopard Laptop with Intel i7. My integrated GPU is Intel HD Graphics 630 and I also have NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050.
