How to enable dGPU on laptop

[scarlet ember]

Hi!
My laptop, MSI GS63 Stealth had some screen problems - the main screen all of a sudden turned blacked with laptop still being responsive. The external monitor still worked via HDMI.

However, in a effort to test different solutions I disabled dGPU from Windows device manager. After that I can't even use external monitors. Is there a way to enable the dGPU without a screen maybe via some command line shenanigans?

I'm guessing you've tried restarting already?
There's also a Hotkey to restart graphics driver: Win+Ctrl+Shift+B which might help?

What version of windows are you running? If its windows 10 pro you can use remote desktop to remote in and change settings.

Alternatively: If you can get into powershell, you can enable all NVIDIA devices by typing
Get-PnpDevice -FriendlyName "NVIDIA*" | Enable-PnpDevice
Press enter and press a and press enter once more.

You need to go to the MSI dragon center or control panel whatever it's called now and enable the GPU there and disabled the igpu

You could make a boot USB and boot windows on that which should have enough of a driver to get you up and running and then see if you can change a .ini file somewhere on your main C: drive
