The problem shall never be corrected by Electronic Arts or Nvidia for one simple reason: the cause is in the Intel Driver.
I had a doubt that the reason for the full screen issue could be in the bugged scaler of the Iris Graphics driver and yesterday I had the final confirmation when i installed Windows 10 Technical Preview.
After the very first installation of the beta version of Windows there was a moment in which both graphic cards drivers were not installed.
I started installing the Nvidia Driver maintaining the Windows Base Driver for the intel card.
I run the game and it was working in full screen, although with poor performance.
As soon as I updated the driver from the generic one to the intel Iris, the issue appeared.
So, we all understood that in Optimus laptops the scaling of the image is not managed by Nvidia card, that is the reason for which no option of override is available in the Nvidia Control panel.
But the scaler of the Intel driver is buggy. Bugs on Intel scaling are reported since 2012 and were never completely resolved.
We have to start pestering Intel if we want a solution on this problem.

I have tried this and it seems your theory doesn't check out. When getting rid of the Intel graphics drivers and using generic drivers, the game will not use your Nvidia card anymore (regardless of whether you selected it). This explains the poor performance you were having. The game will only use your Nvidia card if you also have Intel drivers.
I just bought the game today and have spent hours trying to fix it. I have a 960M card.
