Hello,

I have a Lenovo y510p laptop that has an Intel 4600 HD graphics card as well as a Nvidia GT750M graphics card. I am not a very computer savey person. I have this laptop as a primary gaming laptop. My very game being Europa Universalis 4. I was able to run a great many games that were graphically demanding on high

Before this update, I never had any graphics issues and my EU4 was running crystal clear. I was using my NVIDIA card to play all of my games without a problem. After this Windows 8.1 update occurred, EU4 became graphic nightmare, the screen was constantly shimmering black, and it was all laggy. So I went into my device manager turned off my intel graphics card, and just ran my NVidia, I ran EU4 and it said I had a legacy card that had 500MB of memory and EU4 required more. Which I realized was not true because my NVIDIA 2GB of memory. So then I disabled my NVidia and and ran it with my intel card, at medium quality. Im concerned that this update did something to my drives or something. I checked to see if all of my drives were up to date, which they are, and I even did a system refresh, which worked until windows forced the update. Now my Nvidia Geforce isn't even working and is running into unknown error and can not run.

Any help would be so greatly appreciated!

My specs are as follows
Lenovo Y510P Laptop
Windows edition 8.1
Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4700MQ CPU @ 2.40 GHz
RAM 8.00 GB
System type: 64 bit operating system, x64 processor
Display Adapter: Intel(R) HD 4600
NVIDIA Geforce GT 750M graphics card (no sni option when on NVidia control panel )

Any help would be so incredibly helpful. I just want my old gaming abilities back.
Thank you guys
-Ed

I think you using the onboard graphics (the intel one) just right click the app and run this program as Nvidia processor.. this might work.
also remind that windows 10 is a little out of date in drivers so update the drivers first so that you can get smooth performance.
