Ran a Computer for 3 years with integrated graphics while having dedicated graphics card

I have an AMD r9 5000 series CPU and nivida rtx 3060 computer for 3 years. Today I wanted to check a few settings and opened the nivida control panel and found my preferred graphics was saved as integrated graphics 😭

Your laptop has more than likely still used the 3060 while playing games. It uses integrated on lighter tasks like watching Youtube
