Unable to choose which GPU is used by SC for OpenGL

In Windows 11, you can specify which GPU a specific app uses, in Settings -> System -> Display - Graphics. When I add the SierraChart_64.exe and set the GPU preference as my integrated AMD GPU (instead of my primary Nvidia discrete GPU), the setting appears to be ignored and SC still uses my primary GPU.

Can SC be updated to respect this setting, or can you give us some option in SC to specify which GPU is used for OpenGL?

Thank you,

I am on Windows 11 pro
My GPU is AMD Radeon RX 7600 XT
EVERYTHING works fine on my PC with OpenGL (Default high performance GPU is one that I chose and stays the same)
Hopefully this help
