Hello,
So here is my problem: many of my software and games use my integrated graphics card (Intel(R) HD Graphics 4600) even when I enable the "High-performance Nvidia processor" in the Nvidia control panel for them. I don't understand why, so I'm wondering if by disabling the integrated graphics card in the "Device Manager" it will force these software to use the GTX 880M, and is it dangerous?
Configuration: Windows 10/ Chrome 64.0.3282.186/ Nvidia Geforce GTX 880M graphics card/ Intel i7 4700HQ processor

Have you ever installed the Nvidia drivers?
Personally, I get that message when I don't have my GPU drivers installed.
To download them, I recommend using Geforce Experience (it's a Nvidia software). Plus, the software can configure your games based on your hardware.
Link to Geforce Experience: https://www.nvidia.com/fr-fr/geforce/geforce-experience/
When you finish installing the drivers, restart your PC.
If it worked and Windows is running on the GTX, then it's all good.
Otherwise, access the Device Manager and expand the "Graphics Cards" section like in this example:
If you're running on the processor's integrated graphics, you should see it, right-click on it and disable it.
Make sure the GTX is functioning first and that the drivers are installed.
When you disable the integrated graphics, there will be no display for a brief moment, and if nothing happens, turn off the PC and turn it back on, and everything should work normally.
But I recommend disabling the integrated graphics through the BIOS; to access it, look up the model of your computer.

But the BIOS is too complicated for me.
