I have GT740M and the integrated intel hd graphics.

Yesterday I have installed the latest correct drivers from Nvidia website, after installing and restarting, my games FPS were back to normal (dota 2 was around 40-50 max settings)

but today, i opened my laptop, i noticed that the fps dropped to 20. and my other game which has a usual pop up notice about Nvidia Optimus Detected, was not showing up. It means that nvidia optimus is not working.

In my nvidia control panel , I have chosen high performance nvidia processor as my default.
Still same problem, not working.

I right click my game and chose , Run with graphics processor high performance nvidia processor. still, game is not running with the nvidia graphics card.

what should i do? I just cant re install the drivers everytime i open my laptop.

Nvidia Optimus will adjust you power down when not needed. Opposite to high performance. So one or the other. Not both.

Are you saying your 740M is NOT running? See if you need to switch to pcie graphics in bios.
