Hi everyone.
First of all, excuse me if I fail with my english, it is not my mother tongue.
I have this laptop: https://es.msi.com/Laptop/GF72-8RE/Specification which has Windows 10 and two GPUs: an integrated Intel HD 630 and a GeForce GTX 1060.
I have always felt like my laptop wasn't developing at its true power and recently I bought this monitor: https://www.amazon.es/AOC-24G2U-BK-Ajustable-FlickerFree/dp/B07Y3RYLVH (flat, 24'').
I wanted to "disable" my laptop screen and use only my new monitor as display (using mini displayport to displayport), so I tried to "Show only in 2" like this (sorry about spanish screenshot):

And I got the problem related (& solved) here:

After restarting Windows, my laptop screen was simply non-existent. It was always OFF and I could not even find it on Windows. Don't know what happened but it seemed like it was uninstalled. Anyway, everything was looking fine and working properly, tried two games (PUBG & Escape From Tarkov) and they were running smoother than ever, more FPS than ever. So I went to sleep so happy.
The day after, I started my laptop and its screen was ON but without "lags" problem, so I thought it was ok. I checked graphics performance with the same games I played the day before and they were on point, smoother than ever.
But then I started streaming (not for the first time, I do stream and, repeating which I said at the beginning, "I have always felt like my laptop wasn't developing at its true power"). For example, BEFORE doing all the "new monitor-laptop screen OFF-YouTube tutorial-thing", I could stream PUBG or Escape From Tarkov developing at 40-60 ingame fps with some overloads in OBS (output 900p 60fps).
So back to "But then I started streaming". I started streaming and games were again smoother than ever (PUBG: 80-140 fps, Escape From Tarkov: 60-90 fps) but my stream was lagging like hell. Not simply overloading a bit; you were unable to watch it. Something like this

but more lagged. I checked and my 1060 GPU was over 100%.
After that I thought: ok, let's disable Intel graphics, just to try. I tried to "Disable device" like this (sorry about spanish screenshot again):
And it worked. I was playing smoother than ever, high fps ingame performance (both games), smooth stream + no overload while streaming and no 1060 GPU 100% usage.
So, my main question is why? Is my Intel graphics capping somehow my GeForce graphics? Could someone please explain it to me? And is there a proper way to fix it? Disabling devices does not seem like a very good way to do it for me.
Thank you very much in advance and sorry for this looong post.
Cheers.
