Im not getting any error messages.
optimus-manager --print-mode
Current GPU mode : intel
When I log out and log back in nothing happens it just goes back to intel.
One thing to note, I cant modprobe nvidia but im not sure if I SHOULD be able.

Usually it’s the DM which causes issues. Since you didn’t provide any useful info about your system, we can’t go into the details.
Generally, I can say that usually three things are possible here:
You didn’t configure your DM properly as shown in the guide
Your optimus-configuration isn’t correct
Your settings are not playing well with your hardware, you need to experiment with different switching methods and other settings till you get it right
Maybe a 4th thing would be a bad and conflicting driver installation. Or 5th - combination of all the above…
So for a beginning show us output of:
inxi -Fazy
and
mhwd - li
and the other outputs that others are asking here about.

Wow, you are over-installed. With Intel-Nvidia combo, you only need:
video-modesetting
and
video-hybrid-intel-nvidia-440xx-prime
or preferably newer one:
video-hybrid-intel-nvidia-450xx-prime
Rest should be uninstalled. They are probably creating some conflicts.

It is quite often that some drivers are a dependency of other installed package. If that is the case, mhwd will return error during uninstall attempt and will show you which package is blocking it. You need to uninstall this package first (if you need it, you can install it later again), then run uninstall by mhwd once again.

Holy crap, thats what it was.
I guess theres something to be said about using the same install across 4 laptops and almost 3 years lol.
