Hey everyone, I accidentally disabled my integrated graphics thinking my RTX 4070 Super would take over, but now my PC shows a black screen at startup. I'm using Windows 11 and my setup includes both a CPU with integrated graphics and the RTX 4070 Super. Unfortunately, I can't activate the narrator using the shortcut since I believe I disabled it a while back. I really want to avoid resetting my entire computer if possible, but I'm not sure how to do that without being able to access the system. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

If switching the monitor connection doesn’t work, your next best bet might be to get into the BIOS on startup. You can usually do this by pressing a key like Del or F2 during boot. From there, look for settings related to integrated graphics and enable them again, but if you can't see anything, it might require a bit of troubleshooting.
First off, check how your monitor is connected. Is it plugged into your RTX 4070 Super or directly to the motherboard? If it's connected to the motherboard, try switching it to the GPU instead, as that might give you video output from your graphics card. Also, make sure to have any important data backed up before tweaking your BIOS settings, just in case!
Yeah, switching the connection can often solve these types of issues. If you still have trouble, another option is to reset your BIOS to default settings by removing the battery for a moment. Just be careful with that!
