Because the other user reporting a similar issue solved his problem by loging to Windows as administrator.

Is this your notebook?

Is this a dual switching notebook (laptop) with Nvidia and Intel graphic chips?

Then, it seems that your notebook has the Intel chipset as the default video card.
Check the Nvidia Control Panel and locate the Manage 3D Settings. Change, in both Global and Program, the Preferred Graphics Processor to High Performance NVIDIA Processor.
