Windows 10: Disabling integrated graphics on windows 10

Everytime i go to my task manager while playing Fortnite or basically any game, my pc always seems to be using the intel integrated graphics. I contacted microsoft about this before, but everytime i turn it off, my external monitor goes black. I want to be able to use only my nvidia graphics card, so i just wanted to know if there is any way to turn off the integrated graphics without disrupting the signal to my external monitor?

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK

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:





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

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

This can happen when Windows tries to choose performance over display/graphic effects. I would request you to follow the steps mentioned below:
