Today my windows was alot slower than nomal. Both in booting up and in general. I saw an article suggesting to turn off intel hd graphics and leave the job to my nvidia 940 mx gpu. I did that and it seemed to work ( i was able to see windows after a few secs of black screen ). But when i then restarted my Notebook it got stuck at the acer logo. I cant seem to enter the bios. I disabled it using the device manager How can i fix this?
[QUOTE=coyote93;51049592]I'm pretty sure the integrated intel hd gpu is the one that controls the screens and "main tasks" for windows, and the nvidia gpu is just there to lend power in harder tasks. Meaning that the intel hd gpu is actually necessary to actually do anything at all on you laptop. I don't believe disabling the intel hd card in windows has anything to do with you not being able to enter bios tho.[/QUOTE] Maybe i can enter it and i have not been trying hard enough. Lets say i can enter my bios. What should i do then? Any way to reanabling my intel hd chip or giving the main tasks to the nvidia one?

[QUOTE=coyote93;51049934]Well, I guess you could check and see if your able to enter safe mode, before windows loads completely and your intel hd gpu register as "disabled". If that works, you can most likely enable the card in device manager again. If that doesn't work, try to do a system restore, to the most recent restore point. Both of those options depends on me being right on that the disabling of the intel gpu don't go in action before windows starts loading for real.[/QUOTE] Ok i will try that. If that doesnt fail i might try to enable the narrator and navigate to the device manager blindly ( assuming that the windows gui even launches with a proper resolution and so forth ) [editline]14th September 2016[/editline] [QUOTE=coyote93;51049934]Well, I guess you could check and see if your able to enter safe mode, before windows loads completely and your intel hd gpu register as "disabled".

I actually fixed my notebook now. I couldnt get into safe mode using the shortcut on boot due to my bios settings ( and when u changed it to legacy it couldnt find a bootable image ) so i had to do something pretty stupid. I had to fake a problem with boot by holding the off switch while windows was booting so to the os it seemed like something causes the boot to fail. After doing this twice the pc opened the auto repair from which i could get to the advance startup screen and restore from a restore point.
