Hope this helps. If you need screenshots or guidance let me know.
Hi! I know this says solved but (in my opinion this is far from it) I am here to give my answer. Minecraft.exe is NOT an application. The launcher is an application and it is fairly easy to find. I would 1. Add the Launcher to high performance on switchable graphics as well but here is how to fix the issue. Launch minecraft normally. When you do, open the Radeon settings and go to switchable graphics. Then go to Current Applications. It should show you a list of applications that are currently running. Even with Minecraft running, you won't see it. This is because Minecraft is disguised as a JAVA application. If you see any applications open with the word JAVA in it such as javaw.exe for example, set it to high performance. It takes a few tries for some reason and it won't stay at high performance. Just keep clicking it if it does that and keep changing it to high performance. Then close out of minecraft and relaunch it. It should say that it is now running on the 560x card and not the vega 8 graphics. There is like no possible way to add javaw.exe to the gaming tab as the computer just doesn't recognize this as a game. I would also not that turning down minecraft graphics to the lowest as possible gives best FPS increase. I would also recommended increasing RAM usage on Minecraft to 4. If you don't know how to do that there is tons of videos. If you come across a problem where you can't change RAM usage, install 64bit JAVA and it should fix that problem as well. Hope this helps if you never managed to figure it out. I would also highly recommended pluggins in your laptop while doing all of this as well.
