Hello. Can anyone advise how to disable the integrated amd graphics? The 3 options offered in the help are unusable (do not exist) for the NB NItro 5 AN515-45.
Thank you.

    Using NitroSense (if available):
    Check for NitroSense: Open the NitroSense application (if installed) and navigate to the settings (gear icon).
    Discrete GPU Option: Look for an option related to "Discrete GPU" or "MUX Switch" and enable it.
    Restart: Close NitroSense and restart your computer for the changes to take effect.

    Few models of Nitro 5 models have a MUX switch, which allows manual control over which GPU is used for display. If your model has this, you can use it to force the discrete GPU to be used for all graphics applications. Make sure you have the latest BIOS frimware.

    Disabling the Discrete GPU in Device Manager:
    Open Device Manager: Press Windows + X on your keyboard and select "Device Manager".
    Find Display Adapters: Expand the "Display adapters" section.
    Disable Device: Right-click on your discrete graphics card (e.g., NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060) and select "Disable device". Confirm: A warning message will appear, click "Yes" to continue.

    I hope this helps! If this was useful, please hit 'Yes' or 'Like'! Thanks! 😊

    Hello
    thanks for the answer. In the NitroSense program, there is no option to enable Discrete GPU in the settings, for some reason I have no idea. This Nitro 5 model does not have a MUX switch.
    The Bios not only does not offer any option to turn it on or off, but it also does not show the graphics card nv. 3060
    I tried disabling the discrete GPU in Device Manager once and the image started to freeze. So I will try again.

    Hello. So I tried to disable it. The result is strange. Instead of the system being controlled by NV 3060, the Microsoft Basic Render Driver was turned on, which prevents the NV 3060 from functioning.
    The first two pictures when disabled.
    The next one when enabled.

    It looks like something is preventing the NV 3060 from starting.
