The KSP is unable to running in XPS15

[Kristall.Wang]

XPS9560 with 32G RAM from crucial, i7 7700HQ, GTX1050, Win 10 64 bits,
And when I open the GeForce Experience form NVIDIA, it told me they can't optimiation it.
Does anyone know why? It seems my graphic card doesn't support it... But it's GTX1050...

And... When I try to open KSP, it stays in a white block without any sounds or graph, and when I open the windows task manager, it said the KSP program is in no response statue.

1:Delete geforce experience, it's bloatware
2:Are you using the 32bit version of KSP?

I think the problem is coming from the graphy card drive...The driver's control dashboard cannot be open, but it's the latest version....

+1 delete GeForce experience. Though I'm not sure it is the reason for your issue.
I have run this game on 6 years old XPS17 with 2620Q, GTX555 and just 8GB. Not the fastest play, but reasonable enough for ships not too big. I run my Dell with turbo off permanently (power limited to 99%) to avoid famous Dell leafblower effect. So the core speed was rather mediocre and thus the size of the ships more limited.

To avoid Nvidia crap you might try to delete video drivers and then install them again from Dell. Usually laptop manufacturers love to add some tricks to power management so it is better to use optimized one to have full Dell functionality. But the problem might actually hide in those as well. And Dell will have older ones. Though older doesn't mean bad. Only newest games sometimes have issues and require updates. The rest is Nvidia reminding about themselves more often than really neeeded.

Last scenario which always works - install video driver through Windows update (which finds simple, clean Nvidia driver without Experience and the need to register anything ~ giving up private stuff), but some "features" of laptop might get lost. On some of my old laptops screen didn't auto-sleep with unauthorized drivers. Which is worst issue I have seen with them.
Sometimes laptops fight unauthorized drivers. There is some internet site dedicated to those cases. laptopvideo2go or something like that which provides adjusted drivers (the list of available chip models is extended so they can install on your "wannabe special" gear). But again, keep in mind that can give up some functionality eventually.

For games in general it is recommended that dedicated chip runs them vs Intel integrated. Due to power management and low KSP requirements your system might try to use integrated chip. Worst case scenario - it is switching forth and back and fails at some point because of that. There should be a way to set dedicated Nvidia chip prefered choice. Have done that like 2 times in my life on different laptops long ago, so don't ask where exactly or if it is still relevant issue. Just search or google for the integrated vs. dedicated GPU switch issue if that's the case.

Probably this if you've ever updated your drivers with ones not from Dell (which likely includes those wonderful Windows 10 updates). I wouldn't call what they do optimisations however, gimping is probably more fitting.
