I updated bios on Gigabyte Z170X-Gaming using gigabyte bios utility.
The reason was freezing windows due to I7 6700 skylake bug.
After update my internal intel graphic card is not longer part of my hardware. Not visible by bios even windows 10 cannot see any Intel graphic card. Only external cards are visible.
Anybody has similar problems ? Any idea how to fix it ?

If you have no idea what your previous BIOS settings were because you failed to write them down prior to flashing the BIOS then you may have a problem. Flashing a BIOS returns BIOS settings to default settings. If you didn't build the system and install the Operating System then you probably have no idea what the correct BIOS settings are.

You might start with: Windows 8/10 Features (Default: Other OS)

CSM Support: Enables or disables UEFI CSM (Compatibility Support Module) to support a legacy PC boot process.
>>[Enabled] Enables UEFI CSM. (Default)
>>[Disabled] Disables UEFI CSM and supports UEFI BIOS boot process only.
This item is configurable only when Windows 8/10 Features is set to Windows 8/10 or Windows 8/10 WHQL.
