Windows 10: Nvidia GPU in display adapters is greyed out in Device Manager

So I'm on a laptop Acer Nitro 5 AN515-55 and recently I found out that when I plug in an HDMI cable, the screen doesn't turn on and when I go into the device manager, under Device Adapters, the NVIDIA graphics card that I have Geforce GTX 1650 Ti is greyed out and I can't do anything to get it back. Although after more than 9ish hours, it seems to be back and working again when I boot the laptop back up but then after around a minute or so, the laptop instantly goes black and it crashes and forces a restart. After the restart, my laptop reverts back to the IntelR UHD Graphics for some

Does Device Manager list the GTX 750 TI under Display Adapters?

I have two display adapters showing...

Looking at Display Adapters in Device Manager of my Thinkpad 540p laptop I see two display adapters listed, an Intel HD Graphics 4600 and an NVIDIA GeForce GT730M. The reason I was looking was that I am having some issues with some photo display software and it was suggested that hardware GPU acceleration could be the problem and I was checking that the drivers are up to date (they are). My question is: do I need both these adapters to be enabled? Could they be conflicting? I am hesitant to disable anything without asking advice first. Can I disable (say) the Intel adapter without seriously disabling my machine?
