Short description of error
When I try to open blender I am met with the Unsuported Graphics Card or Driver error telling me "A grapics card and driver with support for OpenGL 3.3 or higher is required. Installing the latest driver for your graphics card may resolve the issue. The program will now close." despite the fact that all my drivers are up to date, and my graphics card and gpu supposedly provide full support for OpenGL 4.6. I've done multiple clean installs of both drivers and multiple versions of blender to no avail.
Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
Opening blender on my machine (microsoft surface book 2) with all drivers up to date. The attatched screenshot shows the error.

Do you have 2 monitors plugged in to 2 GPU's? see #62651
I'm using three monitors, one of which is a drawing tablet. Both are plugged into HDMI ports on my Dell D3100 Docking Station which connects to my laptop via a USB. My Surface Book is a weird little laptop that can disconnect from the keyboard and turn into a tablet. The Nvidia graphics card is located in the keyboard portion, while the Intel 620 is in the screen part that becomes a tablet. Because of my admitedly odd set up I can't figure out how to tell which monitor is plugged in to which GPU (nvidia control panel PhysX config doesn't show them, and I can't find the information in the advanced display settings or display adapter properties), but I'm fairly sure the laptop screen uses the Intel.
I've tried changing the Nvidia to be the perfered graphics card for blender in every spot I can find, including windows settings and the Nvidia control panel (OpenGL rendering GPU specifically, but also any spot it would allow me to prefer Nvidia).
I also tried unplugging my docking station and therefore my other monitors as well, and Blender opened just fine when I had only my laptop screen. Blender also works when I have only one of my external monitors plugged in to the docking station.
Also, when rightclicking on blender as illustrated in the other tab I don't get the "Render OpenGL on" menu option. Not sure why.
Thanks for information. I think it is quite safe to assume this is same problem as with #62651.
It should be possible to configure Blender to use desired GPU, you will have to find and check solution yourself, because your system may need specific configuration.
You can try to look or ask for help in one of the community websites: https://www.blender.org/community/
