      Minecraft won't use the dedicated GPU on my laptop, despite having set the GPU in both NVIDIA Control Panel and the Windows 10 graphics settings.  The issue is specific to Minecraft as the other games I have installed respect the setting.  Regardless of the setting, Task Manager always shows the GPU Engine as GPU 0.  This is causing significant performance issues in the game.  All graphics drivers and the OS are up to date.  Here are my system specs:

      Dell XPS 15 9570
      Windows 10 Pro 64-bit
      Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-8950HK CPU @ 2.90GHz   
      32.0 GB RAM
      GPU 0: Intel UHD Graphics 630
      GPU 1: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti with Max-Q Design
