This tutorial will show you how to enable or disable your integrated graphics (iGPU) in Windows 10 and Windows 11.
Some motherboards will include onboard graphics or integrated graphics (iGPU) that uses a shared amount of system memory. The iGPU port is usually located on the back of the motherboard.
