solved Black screen if I disable integrated GPU

[dimitarnestorov]

I'm rocking a dual HDMI monitor setup and before I got my DisplayPort to HDMI adapter I used to put one of the monitors in the integrated graphics. After I disable the IGPU from the BIOS windows doesn't want to boot anymore. I get to the point where the windows loading animation disappears but after that all I get is a black screen (no cursor, no signal). I'm sure that if I reinstall Windows with the dedicated graphics only it will work just fine but I would prefer to skip this part.

Does anyone have any ideas why is this happening and can I somehow fix it?

You said you disabled the iGPU there’s your problem install drivers maybe

What you're supposed to do is install a dGPU, and then disable the iGPU or set the PC to use the dGPU instead of the iGPU.

I have installed NVIDIA and Intel GPU drivers, both monitors work if one of them is plugged in IGPU (and IGPU enabled ofc)

That's what I do, Windows refuses to boot properly.

 

EDIT: I am able to boot the machine in Safe Mode. But only the DisplayPort monitor is working.

 

EDIT 2: After uninstalling the Intel drivers in Safe Mode the PC started booting.
