How to force dwm.exe to use the discrete graphic card?

Hi Greg,

Thanks for reply. I checked my UEFI settings and contacted the Lenovo support and found that there's only 2 options there:

• UMA Graphics
• Switchable Graphics

The first option means integrated graphic card only. There's no options like "discrete graphic card only/preferred".

Thanks!
