Help! I have a laptop with a broken screen and I used external monitor. The problem is that I deleted integrated graphics drivers because I thought that my Nvidia graphics would take over every game I would play from then and on because some games used integrated graphics and I couldn't change it via Nvidia Control Panel, but this messed up my connection with external monitor and i can't make my laptop use it any more. The laptop is Lenovo G580. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

try this way:
1-in boot menu press F8 (for windows 10 Shift+Restart)
2-in the boot options go to "Enable Low-resolution video"
3-when the system booted up go to device manager
4-enable the Nvidia Adapter or install the integrated adapter
----
if that doesn't work in the same boot option menu:
1-go to repair your computer
2-select a recovery disk
3-recover the system to the time the integrated adapter still existed.

I would do that, however my laptop screen is broken so I cannot see any of those menus. Thanks for the reply though!

It's the fn+f3 on my laptop and I did try that method, but it still wouldn't work. My laptop is Lenovo G580. I also considered dismantling the lid so the laptop didn't have a screen to use as default so it would use the external one but that would be my last resort.

try this, "press the Fn and F7 keys simultaneously to change the display mode."
