Windows 8 - Adding an application in AMD switchable graphics settings
I have Dell Inspiron 5447 i3 with AMD Radeon R7 M265 with Windows 8.1 and have recently updated all needed windows updates.
I know how to add applications in the switchable settings as high-performace with *.exe extension but when I installed applications from the apps store (i.e. Asphalt 8 - Airborne, etc.) I cannot seem to add them to the switchable graphis settings to get the AMD GPU used. I know that the AMD GPU not getting used because I used a monitoring tool (openhardwaremonitor) that says it was not used. I can add applications like some other games I installed but not from the windows apps store so now I am really confused.
How can I get the AMD graphics to work with some apps in the apps store (specifically in my case, Asphalt)
TIA!!

Just to add, I cannot see the application (Asphalt) from the list of Recent apps and All applications from the AMD settings UI even if the Show all applications found on the system is checked.
Please help guys..
Thanks

I already solved it.
Apps will appear in the 'recent' application when the app is closed. I tried using the close button in the win8 app but it was still running, at least as seen from the task manager. so when I stopped the app from the task manager, I was able to see it from the recent apps in the switchable graphics settings and added it to the high performance.
