Try changing them

Yes, I have upgraded the system to the latest before install the NVIDIA Driver.
And i checked the bios, There is no switch for GPU.
Do i need to try this?
Check logs
journalctl -b -p3 --no-pager --no-hostname
bash -c 'for Xlog in $(ls /var/log/Xorg.?.log); do echo -e "\n" $Xlog ; grep -E "(EE)|(WW)|failed|Time" $Xlog ; done'
Also post this file's contents to bin.garudalinux.org

Evidence is the same as other issues where BIOS is auto hiding dGPU from the system.
I suggest you ask this at your Laptop's vendor Support forum.
How can I disable "auto-enable/disable dGPU"?

@jonathon Thank you very much! The Nvidia Settings can be opend, How to verify that the Nvidia graphics card can work normally, please ? @jonathon @petsam @librewish
Please, don't post images for just text output. It is explained numerous times. 
Manually, start apps with prime-run <app>.
Else, the system would automatically use nvidia for resource hungry apps.

I can't tell...
I think you can check in Chrome info pages about which driver/GPU is being used.

Oh frick, I probably should have gone for this instead of giving up and switching distro. I'll test this out as well and if it works, I'm staying with Garuda again. Thanks m8!
