Forcing Rack to dedicated gpu

Hi there, I got a new laptop with an extra gpu ( NVIDIA Geforce rtx 2070). I assigned it in the NVIDIA control panel to Rack.Now I see in the Tasmanager that Rack still uses the internal GPU mostly.When I deactivate the internal GPU I can’t start Rack ( could not open GLFW window…). I have the newest Drivers installed. Is there a way to force Rack to only use the NVIDIA gpu? Thanks in advance for advice!

On Windows 10:

1. Press the Windows key, type “Graphics Settings”, enter.
2. Click Browse and select your Rack.exe (Possibly C:\Program Files\VCV\Rack\Rack.exe).
3. Click Options and select “High Performance”.

By default I think it was set to “Let Windows decide” for me and it was running on the integrated GPU.
