How to connect monitor to built-in Nvidia 710m instead of Intel HD4000?

Question

Iron

Hello fellow IT people.
I have an Asus F552C laptop ( Windows 10, Corei3 3217u, Nvidia 710m/Intel HD4000 ) with HDMI and VGA outputs. As I understand from the information on the network, you can hook up 2 external monitors to the laptop (+ the third built-in one).
I manage to force only 2 displays out of three at the same time, and in any variations. After clarifying that the HD4000 is capable of three displays only under certain conditions and that I do not fall under these conditions, I decided to deal with the Geforce710m.
For some reason, all monitors cling only to the HD4000, this can be seen in the device manager. And in the Nvidia control panel, I did not find the settings for multiple displays at all (Drivers - 384.76 from off site). Such settings are available only in the HD4000 panel and are built into Windows.
So, who knows why monitors cling only to HD4000? Is there a software solution for this issue? The Nvidia card works in games - why can't I hang a monitor on it? I know about usb video cards, but I want to use (if possible) what I have.

No. Only one of the HDMI or VGA outputs will work. It's not just on your model.
Switching to GeForce will be only under heavy load, or you can specify (I won’t say where now) that this application would use GeForce cores.
The problem is that the chipset cannot output to three monitors at once.
In your option, only buy USB-HDMI, but it is not suitable for games.

If in a personal computer you can choose where to connect the monitor (to the video output of the motherboard or to the video card itself), there is no such choice in a laptop, all connectors go to the built-in card. The discrete card is only used to create pictures in 3D applications (games, editing, modeling). This approach is favorable for energy saving - the desktop, browser, text editors - everything is drawn by the integrated graphics adapter, which consumes little power.
Sometimes it is possible to physically switch the video card in the BIOS settings (and completely disable Intel HD), try looking for this option.
