Command and Conquer Red Alert 3 Does not work with the Nvidia GPU

I just downloaded Command And Conquer Red Alert 3 Uprising from Steam because I got a new Gaming Laptop, and I wanted to play it again, but the game does not use my Nvidia Graphic Card, instead uses my Intel Graphic. I already changed the configuration from the Nvidia Panel to run the game whit it. However, it does not work, the game still runs with the Intel Graphic, even if I go tho Windows Graphic Configuration still does not work, and this is the first time I have this problem, even with older games such as Command and Conquer Red Alert 2 Yuri's Revenge work with the Nvidia Graphic.

    @Prezaxel65 You're sure it only wants to run on your Intel Graphics? How do you see this? I know you can see this with some solutions, but you can't see that in your image. Do you have any issues with it running on your Intel graphics? I would advice you to update the NVidia graphics drivers directly from NVidia itself to see if that could possibly fix it. Configure then of course the game to run on your Nvidia graphics card in the NVidia control panel 🙂 Did that work?

    @mrtnptrs Well, I'm using MSI Afterburn, and I selected as GPU1 the Nvidia Graphic and PGU0 for Intel, so the game is not using the Nvidia Graphic; besides, I tried to use the Nvidia Control Panel and selected the .exe file from Steam and still didn't work and I have the last driver from Nvidia.

    @Prezaxel65 And exactly how can you see from that that the game doesn't use your NVidia GPU? You mean you saw the game using the Intel graphics in the in-game Rivatuner overlay? Could you provide a screenshot of the game running with the Rivatuner overlay that points out which GPU is used? Can you give me  the exact specs of your PC? Especially your processor and GPU. As with that you can easily see which graphics card is used by the game. Make sure you let the Rivatuner overlay show a bit more info about the GPU than in your previous image; like video memory/VRAM etc.
