Power saving features will sometimes override high-performance profiles to save battery life. When the computer attempts to save battery life, it will switch to the integrated card because it does not require as many resources to run. You can resolve this by following the process below:

1. Press the Battery icon in the notification area of your taskbar.
2. Select More power options.. and then expand the Show additional plans section.
3. Select High performance and then close the window.
