Many/most laptops with hybrid graphics don't have the discrete GPU wired to the internal screen. If that includes you then discrete-only mode might only work with an external monitor attached. Because typically the Nvidia GPU is wired to at least one HDMI/DisplayPort, but not usually the laptop panel. Usually only the Intel GPU is attached to the laptop LCD.
