[2022] Game Refuses to use Dedicated Graphics Card

I recently downloaded this game and played for a few hours nonstop without issue. When returning to the game a day later I received massive frame drop upon opening the game. After hours of research I came to realize that DRG would not use my NVIDIA graphics card, but was using it just the day before fine (I later confirmed this just by looking at my task manager and seeing my integrated graphics being at 100% while my NVIDIA chilling at 12%). After following some tutorials online going into the NVIDIA control panel and setting the game to force use my dedicated graphics it would still not work. I also checked for driver updates to no avail. Finally I decided to uninstall the game and move it to a different Steam library on a different hard drive and it worked!... for a day. Logged on again today and same issue. Is there a DRG setting in the backend I can go to to force it to use my NVIDIA graphics! Any help is accepted I really want to play with more than 12 frames on good graphics.

It is also worth noting that I am using a laptop which could most definitely be the issue, but every other game I play has never had an issue locating the correct GPU. I am currently uninstalling and moving the game back to the other hard drive but I don't want to have to keep doing this just to play:(
