Matlab continuously launching on GPU

Whenever I launch matlab on my computer (which contains both a descrete and integrated GPU), matlab always activates and uses the dGPU. Even if I have disabled the dGPU (no programs are active and the dGPU is disabled), matlab starts the GPU. Is there a reason why this is happening, and is there any way to make it stop? I don't want matlab to actiave the gPU, which results in much lower battery life.

Using the NVIDIA Control Panel, disable hardware acceleration for MATLAB.

Alternatively, type opengl software on startup.
