Nitro 5 How do I enable my NVIDIA display Adapter

So my Nitro 5 screen is broken and I have bought a monitor and a HDMI cable, so I accidentally disabled my nvidia display adapter and now my new monitor is now black. I thought it will use my GPU 0 which is the intel UHD graphics but no. please help me

Are you using a external monitor connected to laptop through hdmi cable.

Try windows x 
go to device manager 
expand display adapter
right click on display driver - enable the driver.

Try windows x 
go to device manager 
expand display adapter
right click on display driver - uninstall 
Restart the computer 

It should work fine.. 

If it is still not working 
Uninstall the display adapter from device manager 
Don’t restart the computer. 
Go to support.acer.com 
chose your country 
type snid or chose your model 
go to drivers 
Install the display driver

Uninstall the Nvidia driver first, preferably in Save Mode with DDU (see link) and if you see any yellow exclamation marks or greyed out "Unknown devices" in Device manager uninstall those too. Just reboot and Windows will reinstall the video driver.

I just found the blind way to enable the Nvidia GPU with a broken screen:

1. Boot the computer normally
2. Type the password (if you have one)
3. Turn up your sound if possible
4. Login, then wait a good while to ensure it's loaded.
5. Tap Winkey+X, then tap M. That brings up device manager.
6. Press Tab once, then type "disp" quickly
7. Tap right arrow twice (or right arrow once then down arrow), then Alt, then A, then E.
8. If you heard a chime, then you hit a device that wasn't disabled, perhaps you have two GPUs. Press Esc, then down arrow, then Alt, then A, then E to try the next one.

If you feel you get lost while in device manager, press Alt-F4 then return to step 4.
