why does Unreal Editor not use my GPU and only my CPU

[Shubhrai12]

while opening a project i downloaded from marketplace it took a long time.
i use a laptop -
ryzen 5 5600H
RTX 3050 Laptop (4gb vram)

then I saw that it uses only my CPu and not GPU…
is there any fix for this.
i am new to this.
started learning UE5 from unreal sensei YT tutorial.

In the Nvidia Control Panel under the 3D settings you need to set it to use the Nvidia GPU as the global default, otherwise it tries to use the integrated Intel GPU
