Question How to effectively disable discrete GPU (GTX 1050Ti) on a laptop?

[ligonsker]

I need to disable a laptop GPU (GTX 1050Ti) because it might be overheating or just not suitable for the work performed on it, or it's just that the 2 GPUs (Intel and GTX) don't work together very well. This causes the system to crash. In my other laptop I can disable the discrete GPU via BIOS and I know it makes the GPU completely invisible, which is probably the most effective way. But now I need to do it remotely, so no access to BIOS. Will disabling the driver via device manager do the same? Or there is another way?



Thanks

You should start with stating said laptop' model / make.

It is only you (and the person in front of it) who knows what will happen if you disable it in Device Manager.
