Trying to disable my integrated graphics so my main monitor (connected to my gpu) can come on. I have a Gigabyte Ultra Durable b360m ds3h.

What I've already tried:
Un plugging my SSD and booting. (My screen didnt even come on)

Installing Gigabyte hardware, such as app launcher, to disable fast boot and launch to my BIOS automatically (I just got launched into my lock screen again)

Switched my cables.

Turning off windows fast boot by power options (Still have fast boot enabled in bios through mother board)

My graphics card is recognized by my system and all the fans are running perfectly.
 
Solution
go to settings/update & security/recovery
under advanced startup, click restart now
this restarts PC in a blue menu
choose troubleshoot
choose advanced
choose UEFI Firmware Interface
this restarts PC in the bios

windows fast startup not same as BIOS fast boot.
Windows fast startup is used to speed up systems with hdd, BIOS fast boot possibly just pushes the instructions bios has to run before handing control of PC to windows through faster.

This still brought me to my Lock Screen.
My friend told me to remove the CMOS battery for about 30 seconds to a min and put it back in. Well, I did that and started up my pc and I’m just getting a black screen. All the lights and fans are running, but I’m not even getting a “no signal” to the monitor connected to my motherboard. My screens just stay black.
 
Are you using HDMI or Display port? try swapping cables, sometimes the bios only shows on 1 cable.

tried attaching monitor to integrated even though thats what you trying to turn off?
I’ve tried DVI and VGA I will try HDMI later when I go and buy a cord.

And yes, I have two monitors and the only one that was giving me a display was the one connected to my motherboard. But I couldn’t make it into my bios due to fast boot.

Plugged in a HDMI and I’m at my lock screen on my main monitor now.

now how do I make it where it reads my DVI and VGA cords? Btw I plugged the HDMI into my gpu not the mother board
