I installed the beta drivers with “Nvidia GPU Only” enabled in the BIOS. The update caused the UI to crash (wrong resolution, no taskbar), and subsequent restarts result in a black screen. The OS appears to boot successfully in the background (Bluetooth devices still connect).
Switching the BIOS to “Nvidia Advanced Optimus” fixes the issue. I successfully re-ran the driver installer in this mode, but switching back to “Nvidia GPU Only” immediately returns to the black screen. Any suggestions on getting “GPU Only” mode working?
Clean uninstall with DDU, then reinstall the bundle.
