fixed it:
It turned out it is an Nvidia old driver issue;

the fix:
– specified the driver details and downloaded a proper driver and .inf file here:
http://laptopvideo2go.com/drivers

in my case it is: laptopvideo2go.com/drivers?dev=1292&sub=502A17AA&whql=0&lang=0&orderby=version&dir=desc&os=&os[]=win8x64

installed the driver as described here: http://forums.laptopvideo2go.com/topic/14640-how-to-use-the-modded-inf/

and Voila – game runs on both GPUs now; driver now reported as 9.18.13.4771

Hello,

- the issue here is the following – download, sign in, click play and nothing happens; another try and Windows Task Manager shows that GW2 process just shuts down…

- the platform: Thinkpad E540
CPU/intGPU: i7 4712MQ, Intel 4600, drv: 10.18.10.3960;
GPU ded: NV GT740M, GK208M, drv: 9.18.13.2762;
RAM: 16GB PC3 12800
OS: Windows 8.1 Professional (x64) Build 9600

What I tried and did NOT work:
-run in comp mode /win7, xp sp3/
-run as admin
-run in different dpi and color and resolution options
-repair the game as described previously in this thread
-run with the nvidia GPU

What I tried and DID work smoothly:
I ran this with the Integrated Intel 4600 graphics …

it is very likely that this is an incompatibility between Optimus / Nvidia driver, the OS and the game.

Any suggestions or comments are welcome, thx!
