Windows 10: Project (Win + P) reverts to "PC scrren only" when closing the lid

I have a Dell P2419H monitor connected (Mini Display Port to VGA adapter) to a MSI GP63-8RE laptop. The laptop display (display 1) is connected to Intel UHD graphics 630, the external monitor display (display 2) is connected to NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060. As soon as I close the lid of the laptop, the external monitor switches from "display 2" to "display 1" and I'm getting this awful monitor lag (FPS dropping down). When I press Win + P and choose "Second screen only", it won't keep it and reverts to "PC screen only".
Strange is, that it works ok for a while, but something must interfere and I can't figure out what it is.
Maybe somebody else had this kind of problem and found a workaround or even a fix.
Thanks for any advises.

:)
