      sorry my english is not very good.

      This issue appeared recently. After a recent Launcher update, on my laptop Minecraft (Java) started to run on the integrated Intel HD graphics and not on the high-performance Nvidia processor. Minecraft (Java) stopped detecting high-performance Nvidia GPU on laptop. Even if i choose for Minecraft "High-performance Nvidia processor" in the Nvidia Control Panel the game stil using(run) "Integrated Intel graphics". 

      I found a solution how to make the game using High-performance Nvidia processor, 2 Steps:

      step 1:  choose for Minecraft Launcher "High-performance Nvidia processor" in the Nvidia Control Panel. Note: even when I do this, the game still runs on integrated Intel HD graphics, and only the 2nd step helps.

      step 2:  right click on the Minecraft Launcher shortcut on the desktop and then choose "Run with graphics processor" -> and then click left mouse "High-performance Nvidia processor"

      And now I have to do (only 2nd step) every time I start a game to force Minecraft using "High-performance Nvidia processor"
      And now this is the only way how can I force the game to run on a High-performance Nvidia processor.

      PLEASE FIX THIS!!!
