How do you check you are running at igpu or graphics card? How about the error, what was indicated?

Try check Device manager if you can see both igpu and graphics card are available under Display adapter..

Try enter bios, make sure graphics are 'Auto" (culd be PCIe or igpu), usually under Advance config or the bios depend on the brand of the board..

If still nothing happens, better clean install you graphics drivers:
Download latest graphics driver (Nvidia & Intel), Driver fusion or CCleaner..
1. Install driver fusion
2. Uninstall Intel graphic driver.
3. Reboot in safe mode
4. Clean Intel and Nvidia drivers with driver fusion.
5. Shut down.
6. Boot into windows and install new drivers...

Yes, as i told you i have 2 graphic cards, and yes i can see them under display adapter. The problem is that i can't run a program with my high performance graphic card, it only lets me run it with the high performance graphic card only if that program isn't running in admin mode, and i don't know how to stop it from running as an admin, i can't go to properties of that program and uncheck run as admin, becouse it is not checked as run as an administrator. I think its in the file that it has to run as an admin.

I suggested to follow the guide to make sure you will not have driver issue particularly you have mentioned some error:
"..error : You do not have privileges to select the graphics processor in this menu"
Before start tweaking your graphics settings it is better that you cleared drivers error that may occur later on... If your drivers are ok, you should find you two gpu in the Device Manager, Display adapter and also in UEFI bios..

- Run Task Manager> Click the tab "Services", click on a button named "Services ..." .
- Find NVIDIA Driver Helper Service & NVIDIA Update Service Daemon, right click on them, then select Properties
- Then Click on "Start " and Select Start-up time: for the first ->Automatic; for the second -service > Automatic (Delayed Start)

Don't forget to set your Power plan to High Performance.
- Control Panel: Start Menu or search> type Power Options, then click Power Options.
Power Plan select High performance - This plan maximize system performance and responsiveness..

Ok. You mentioned Nvidia graphics card that's fine, but you also mentioned Integrated graphics card... Can you tell me what is the model of the Nvidia graphics card and also that integrated graphics card? I assume you are not into SLI or on graphics for PhysX..

Do you mind if you tell me your specs?

I believe you are using laptop/notebook..
First of all, Intel HD 4600 integrated graphics -- is not a graphics card, it is a cpu graphics processor it shares with ram memory for graphics memory... you have a dedicated graphics card NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M ...

try this:
Go to Search> type nvcplui ... once you find it, Right-click nvcplui.exe and "Run as Administrator"...
It should take you to Nvidia Control Panel (this time you are running it as administrator).. Try again set the Global Settings and select Nvidia Processor.. see if it will switch the graphics..

Indeed it is a laptop, when i go to search and type "nvcplui" nothing pops up.

You may find it her "C:\Program Files\NVIDIA\Control Panel\nvcplui.exe"
OR
if you have partition, search for "\Program Files\NVIDIA" directory... look for nvcplui.exe.

--Once you found it.... Right-click "nvcplui.exe", Run as Administrator ..... It should open Nvidia Control panel (running as admin), try change again the settings...

In the NVIDIA folder.

Trying to get OpenHardwareMonitor to measure NVidia GPU - not the build-in Intel. Your solution worked perfectly. Thanks.

I was able to resolve the problem by simply right clicking and choosing "Run as Administrator". My 940m took over on its own when doing so.

Solved (for me). When I would right-click my shortcut to a game, and then click "Run with graphics processor", I would get the message "You don't have the privilege to select the graphics processor in this menu". If you have the problem, try my solution that worked for (I know, it is counter-intuitive):

1. Right-click the game's shortcut.
2. Click Compatibility
3. Make sure "Run this program as an administrator" is NOT checked (may need to click Change settings for all users to uncheck it there).
4. Click Apply, then OK.
