The change is needed in the operating system kernel mode graphics driver. Microsoft is looking into scheduling this development. In the meantime, provided you have purchased a platform allowing you to, the workaround is to disable the low end GPU so Windows uses the only one left. Today, Windows will always use the POST graphics card.

I keep trying to install the Anniversary update for Windows 10, hoping a new driver will fix it and the problem continues. As soon as I upgrade to Win 10 Anniversary, my OpenGL no longer works and sits at version 1.1 (Instead of 4.5). I have tried everything from a clean install to updating drivers for the D3100 dock, Intel 530 and NVIDIA 960M and the issue persists. I've been holding out for a while on this upgrade due to this problem.

Since update KB3176936 I'm experiencing similar problems.
When I want to use an applictation that requires my Nvidia GPU I have to remove the HDMI from the Port Replicator otherwise I have extreme performance issues. So I plug my HDMI straight into my laptop (beats the purpose of the Port Replicator ofcourse).It seems DisplayLinkManager prevents my laptop from choosing the right GPU (Nvidia GPU). I've tried everything, manually forcing to use, global settings use Nvidia GPU, re-install, update Nvidia Control Panel/GeForce.
I'm using a MSI PE60 2QE, with a GTX960M and Intel HD Grapichs 4600. (For reference)
Problem really seems to be with the DisplayLinkManager software.
Hope you bring out an update soon!
Thanks in advance.

I wish i would have seen this before I posted my comment.
It is an Nvidia Optimus issue, but it is NOT Nvidia's issue. Optimus GPU switching has always worked in the past before DL driver was installed. Not sure why, but it seems as though the DL is taking control, or forcing the intel graphics driver to be the only driver selectable by windows.
Why DL driver is able to even alter any of that is beyond me.
