Acer Nitro 5 AN515-53-55G9 - Intel integrated graphics only?

Hey guys, I have a problem. In my Nvidia control panel, It only shows my 2nd monitor. I changed a setting for it and now when I plug it in it is the main display even though it isn't in windows. I looked around and did some research and found out the problem is because of intel integrated graphics is controlling the 1st screen but Nvidia the 2nd screen. No matter what I do or change the 1st screen is locked to intel integrated graphics. I also looked in the BIOS but for some reason, it doesn't show graphics settings in any tab? Why? I tried updating the BIOS, Reinstalling Graphics Drivers, and checking BIOS.

Please Help! -ty

I'm sorry but NO unfortunately there isn't. As my friend above says

The main GPU of every laptop is the integrated processor that controls all rendering.
The dedicated GPU controls video outputs when an external monitor is connected.

and there is no BIOS setting which can change this.

Even though it is not the answer you wanted, please click YES, I have answered your question. Thankyou

Good evening DwertlePLayz !

What EXACT model of your laptop?
There is nothing wrong with your description.

This is not a matter of change in Bios.

Sorry for the VERY late reply. I have the Acer Nitro 5 AN515-53-55G9. I would like to know if there is ANY way to change this. There is a problem that happens due to this. When I am in a fullscreen application and I unplug my 2nd monitor, My screen goes black. From there, I normally need to shutdown pc. If I plug my monitor back in, I can select the program from the taskbar and unplug it again to have it restored. This doesn't work most of the time because after I did this If I left the application it would go black again. Thanks!
