Have you tried to disable the Intel HD 3000 from Device Manager?

MERGED QUESTION
Question from Th3Kaka : "Games Always Run With Intel Instead Of Nvidia"

Th3Kaka :

Hello.. I need help here
My games won't run with nvidia, they always run with Intel instead. I can't find any fix from the internet so here I am. Most answers I read on the internet is "Go to nvidia control panel> go to manage 3D settings> click global settings> set preferred graphics proccessor to nvidia".
I've done that many times but still having the same problem right now.
This problem happened when i replace my broken Motherboard, i can see Nvidia gpu in device mananger, can see temperatures it running on, but can't get it running instead of Intel HD gpu.

These are my attempts to fix this :
- Optimize the games in nvidia geforce experience
- Open nvidia control panel, and switch my preferred graphic processor to "High-performance NVIDIA processor"
- Set my PhsyX processor to nvidia
- Right click on the game.exe and choose to run with nvidia (even if it says my nvidia is the default graphic processor)
I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate (64-bit)

My graphic processors :
NVIDIA Geforce GT 540M 2GB
Intel HD 4000
CPU: I7 2670QM

I apreciate it if anyone can help me solve this issue.

Yes, i tried, but then i can't even start games.

OK. Try this:
- Right-click anywhere on Desktop;
- Choose Nvidia Control Panel option;
- A window will pop up, on the left, select Manage 3D Settings;
- Under Global Settings > Preferred Graphics Processor, choose High-Performance Nvidia Processor.

I tried it, but as I said it didn't work, i also tried right clicking on program and selecting to run with Nvidia Graphics, set nvidia gpu in PhysX, updating, downgrading drivers, but none of these work.

Check your Power Management settings in Control Panel.

Gahl1k :

It's set to "Prefer maximum performance"

Try closing anything related to Nvidia in your Task Manager, then delete Nvidia Corporation folder in your ProgramData folder. In order to do that, you need to change your user permissions to an administrator. You can use this as a guide: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-security/how-do-you-set-yourself-up-as-the-administrator-in/eddfcdc1-d024-446f-ab8c-a5f1ae0ddf43?auth=1
