Have done the first and won't be doing the other 2, because I'm pretty sure it will brick my system or it just won't work.

Nvidia GPU can not connect straight into the monitor nor is there a way to have an external display only connected to the Nvidia GPU. If I disable the IGPU I am sure the display will just not work.
@Opakaz1 try turning off Hybrid mode in Lenovo Vantage or the BIOS of the machine.
This should allow the laptop to always use the Nvidia card.
Update us please !
PS check also if there is a bios update !!!!
The system does not have hybrid mode, but updating the BIOS Did help for One match. The game ran fine for the duration, on mid settings 60 fps. The same problem is now back, I updated everything else and tried nvidia control panel settings again, but the game isn't using the 3050 again. Other games are running fine.

hope this helps!
