My desktop has Intel integrated graphics (an old version). I added an AMD Radeon HD 7500 Series so i could play Skyrim which worked out fine because Skyrim lets you choose which gpu to use.
I decided to play Minecraft with my new gpu which worked great and had great framerate, until my computer restarted and now it will only start with the integrated graphics. All the similar threads i can find are about laptops or other gpu brands and the solutions wont or cant work for me as far as i can tell.
Also I am on windows 10.

Edit:Restarting is the only thing that seems to fix it (though it only works 30% of the time) but it doesnt last if my computer sleeps then it'll often change back...
