  1. Device manager shows two GPU drivers installed but i only use one?


    I recently got a new motherboard along with a new cpu/ram. Since then, the device manager/task manager shows that i have 2 gpus, one of them being my external gtx 1050 gpu and an intel igpu. When i try to uninstall the intel igpu driver, it automatically installs back, what should i do? Should i ignore it?

    :)

  3. Onboard-GPU Not showing up in Device-Manager

    Hello Microsoft Community,

    Since I got a new monitor I am trying to use 2 Monitors.

    The NVIDIA GPU (Dedicated) works perfectly, but the Onboard doesn't work like expected.

    The Onboard-GPU is not showing up in the Device-Manager, not even if setting "Show hidden devices"

    I tried to install the Intel Drivers, but all of them just return that my System doesn't meet the minimum requirements.

    Note: The Onboard Graphiccard worked before, after a Windows Reinstallation it has stopped working.
