    Ok, so using method 2. By "remove" the only option i saw was uninstall, now i am stuck with just my Intel driver and no longer have my Nvidia GeForce 750M driver. I do not know where to reinstall it or what to do. What do I do?

    DangerDillard, I have the exact same problem. I followed the method 2; revealed hidden items in device manager, saw my Nvidia GTX 960M, uninstalled it, and restarted the computer.

    Now I have no traces of the Nvidia video card, even when I reveal hidden items.

    Yesterday Windows 10 automatically updated my Nvidia driver to 361.75, and in the middle of the install crashed to a blue screen. Subsequently my multi monitor setup wouldn't work, so I started looking to manually remove and update the driver for the Nvidia card.

    Ultimately, the problem for me turned out to be with the Nvidia card itself, rather than Windows. I had to get it replaced - the 'glue' linking it to the motherboard had gone solid and cracked, damaging the card.

    Fixed it!! Updated the BIOS, as stated earlier.

    My laptop is maybe 2 months old, so I didn't think i'd have to update the BIOS already, but I was wrong.

    Ahhhh

    Im confused when you say "From here, remove each instance of the Nvidia card you see as well as each unknowndevice. Exit Device Manager and reinstall the latest drivers you can find for your graphics card." Do i uninstall my nvidia driver or what are you talking about 

    Rig

    Laptop Alienware 64bit nvidia 750m

    Solution:

    I found out you can press fn +f5 to get it to force switch to the other card wait until it gives you a prompt that request you to restart and presto update your card and your good :3
