Windows 10: Is there a way to use two graphics drivers at once?

Recently discovered that if I want to connect a second monitor to my laptop then it forces it to use intel integrated graphics for both screens - Meaning that if I want to play a game I have to disconnect the monitor. Is there a way to make my main (laptop) screen run on my GPU, whilst the monitor uses integrated graphics? I've got an i5-9400F and an Nvidia GTX 1050.

Thanks in advance!
