Set your PhysX processor to 'GTX 1050'

 

You can also set this to 'GTX 1050'

I think he wants to disable the integrated GPU fully for some reason and I don't think that option will do such that.

Try and disable the integrated GPU in device manager.

Do you have an option like this...? If so, change it to the NVIDIA GPU option. 

Edit: Oh snap, I completely read your question incorrectly... If you disable your Intel Integrated Graphics, your games should be able to run but why do you want to disable them anyways? They shouldn't effect your performance if you have the right options set...

oh ok ill have to try that because some reason when i tried a game before it was using the intergrated gpu for the game and was running so slow

It's not possible to completely disable integrated graphics on most laptops that have it. The display runs off of the iGPU and any dGPU has to route its signal through the iGPU.

Your GTX 1050 is dependent on the Intel integrated graphics. Disabling the onboard Intel will also disable your GTX1050. To force your games to use the GTX1050, head to Nvidia settings and go to the program section, from there add the game you are playing and select your GTX1050.

If you have Windows 10, with the April Update, you can go to:

Settings > System > Display > Graphic Setting (link at the bottom)

From there you can add programs you want to force to make it use your dedicated graphics card, or Intel integrated graphics. Simply add the program/game to the list, select it, pick Options, and select it should used which graphics card, and hit Save.
