    boot windows with display disabled


    We have a customer requirement for a device controller to boot up Windows not sure if it will be 10 or 11 with a connected HDMI video display and run our program, but with the display remaining completely blank, until some later time when our program displays its control panel. Most search hits for this question solve the opposite problem; attempting to prevent the display from remaining blank at bootup. There is a msconfig:System Configuration option "No GUI Boot" which on my Windows 10 laptop does exactly nothing that I can see. With that option checked, at bootup the laptop first displays

    What will happen if I disable my only display adapter

    An engineer at Adobe is helping me diagnose a problem with Photoshop. He suggested that I disable my AMD card from device manager and run Photoshop on the integrated graphics to see if the issue persists.

    When I check Device Manager, I see only one display adapter listed:


    boot windows with display disabled 66904d1581640105t-what-will-happen-if-i-disable-my-only-display-adapter-only-one-display-adapter.jpg


    Shouldn't the integrated graphics also be listed? If AMD is my only display adapter, I am reluctant to disable it.

    Windows version 1903 (OS Build 18362.592)

    boot windows with display disabled

    laptop doesnt boot automatically

    This is what happened.

    1. Did a repair install and later disabled hibertnate in CMD.
    2. Enabled legacy option ROM in BIOS.
    3. After a few times startup ( i used the system in such mode for 5 days), changed boot option back to default.
    4. Vola!! It boots automatically to win10 without any keypress. Tested it with many starts to confirm the same.
    5. Re-enabled hibernate option using CMD and later selected Fast Startup.
    6. System booted normally, without the need for any keypress.

    I do not know exactly whether such steps resolved the problem or what else happened, hence cannot suggest above steps.

    Many thanks to all members who helped to troubleshoot problems.
