But I would say I would never choose a setup like that because I would doubt it would work as new fangled things rarely work well in pc world. Couldn't say for sure- but if you can do it with other games but not this game and there don't appear to be options in the gpu driver or you can't simply force it to use the amd chip, it's anyone's guess. Bearing in mind that dynamic GPU switching is a relatively new technology where the game client is 5 years old or more it may not be compatible. I guess, if the STO client doesn't see it you can't do it. There probably is a way to get it to run on the amd gpu but maybe not the smart solution where you can simply dynamically select which gpu you want to use for any given app.

You might also just be able to disable the intel display driver in device manager rather than having to go into the bios each time but then again it might crash if windows is running on the intel integrated gpu.

Well the simplest way to ensure that it uses the amd gpu is to disable the intel hd gpu in the bios as for why you can't simply download the steam client and login with it I don't have a clue googling the term 'laptop gpu switching' has thrown up a wealth of articles on how to do it, usually by setting the preferred gpu in for example, the AMD gpu control applet which used to be cataclysm control center but is now relive- so I'd wipe out all your old amd drivers and gpu drivers with Display driver uninstallter from and run a registry cleaner such as wise reg cleaner as well and then download and install the newest package from amd.com and see where that gets you it should be as simple as choosing the default gpu & driver on a per application basis but if the software just won't let you do it on whatever level, the game client or windows then the only way to force it is to make sure only 1` gpu is operating at a time which just means reconfiguring your laptop every time you want to play star trek online.
