I cannot run any games with my NVidia card, whenever I try to select it by right clicking on game icon > run with graphics processor, it says “You do not have privileges to select the graphics processor in this menu”. When I try to play a game with what I’m assuming the Intel graphics, the games look messed up.

How to fix You don’t have the privilege to select the graphics processor?

1. Use DDU to Uninstall the Drivers

  • In the System Configuration window, click on the Boot tab.
  • Under Boot Options, check “Safe Boot” option.
  • Click on Apply and click OK.
  • Windows will ask you to restart the System. Click Yes.

After Booting into Safe Mode

  • Run the DDU.exe file and extract the package.
  • Open the DDU folder and run the Display Drive Uninstaller.exe file.
