Some laptop computers have 2 graphics processors, often one is "Intel" and the other is an "nVidia"
 We need to set the nVidia to be the "preferred" graphics adapter
See if you can find "nVidia" Control Panel.

  Control Panel > nVidia Control Panel > go to 3D settings > Manage 3D settings > Under Preferred Graphics Processor > choose nVidia > Apply.
