I have this exact same issue on two different laptops. Minecraft does not crash, in fact you can hear the main menu music but the app window is white.
Both have i7 processors and discrete Nvidia GPUs and are running Windows 10 Insider. I've been unable to play Minecraft on anything other than integrated graphics going back to some time in late December.
I have a third, older laptop with an i7/Nvidia but running Windows 7 - Minecraft works on the discrete card on that machine.
I have tried downgrading the Nvidia drivers (several different versions tried), tried different versions of Minecraft, both modded and unmodded, nothing changes the problem.
The only thing I haven't tried is downgrading my OS to the release version of Windows 10. This is the only thread I've found anywhere online describing the same issue I'm having so I wonder if it isn't the OS.
Yes. That's a completely different issue though. Minecraft is not crashing - the app window is not rendering anything but a white screen when using the discrete GPU. I've tried multiple versions of the Nvidia driver, including the latest hotfix version. The OP also says he's tried the hotfix drivers.
Already done (clean re-install). No change. Also, same issue on two different computers (I have 2 PCs with the same problem) would seem to indicate it's not an issue with the install.
I'm really leaning toward some issue with the insider edition of Windows 10. Unfortunately the only way to check is to reinstall the release version - a huge headache.
@RELPLT - I'd be interested to hear what version of Windows you're running.

If you think it might be a issue of a windows 10 build, report it on bugs.mojang.com

Hello there,
Whenever I try to play Minecraft, the game window is just white. The game runs, I can hear the sounds and the log shows everything correctly:
but whenever I open the game with Intel integrated graphics, it works just fine.
In case you are wondering, my Nvidia driver version is 378.57
I'm playing on an Asus X550JX laptop with a Nvidia GeForce GTX 950M GPU, an Intel Core i7 4720HQ, 12GB RAM, and 1TB HDD.
Thanks.

Try the downgrade instead of the hotfix

Did you look in the log? The game doesn't crash, it just fails to render.
The new nvidia drivers(and the hotfix too) cause that issue sometimes, thats why im telling you to follow the downgrade fix on that link

There's this hotfix but I don't know what downgrade link you are talking about.

Have done that, obviously. The entire issue is that the game launches with a white screen when using the Nvidia GPU.

Right click the shorcut, go to the compatibility tab and make sure its not set to Windows XP

No compatibility options are set. I Should also mention I've tried the old and new launchers - same result either way.

Maybe it's because I'm on an Inside build. The build # is 15031.rs2_release.
I have updated my Nvidia driver to version 378.66 and it's still not working.
I have heard other people in the insider build with issues, I would report it

Hmm... I'm running the same Insider build and have had this problem since (I think) the last Insider build from December 2016.
