Setting your default graphics card for poe in Windows 10

So after the vulkan update my game started running like trash what i didnt realize was that the update changed my default graphics card to the crappy intel hd integrated graphics so digging around the web i found out how to set your main graphics card for any application
BTW im running the game on a laptop so this problem is probably frequent on laptops

Steps
1.- Open settings on the start menu
2.- go to display settings and scroll down
3.- Click on graphic settings
4.- Click on browse go to your poe installation folder usually its "C:\Program Files (x86)\Grinding Gear Games\Path of Exile"
5.- add Pathofexile.exe and Pathofexilex64.exe
6.- Click on options after you add them and choose high performance that will default your actual gpu and not your integrated graphics card
