Sorry to bump this but was it ever fully solved? Windows 10 update keeps re-enabling the Intel GPU and bricking my computer. Really really frustrating. This p8z77 can't disable onboard yet my p8p67 I can disable onboard fine.

Also trying to install a new Windows 10 build will crash too because it wants to use the Intel GPU instead of my AMD causing it to hang as well, so I can't install the latest build either.

you should be able to disable igpu from in the bios? and select peg for your graphic card/save/exit

Nope the P8Z77 does not have a option to disable it. You have to boot windows 10 in safe mode to disable the driver to get the system to boot properly, but Windows 10 keeps reinstalling the (updated)driver causing hangs every time it does so.

Did anyone find a solution to this i am having the same issue.

Windows 10 keeps trying to update the driver for the onboard VGA and it crashes. Manually updating the driver from the Asus website results in a crash too. I cant seem to see a way to disable the onboard VGA in the BIOS. Im a bit stuck

Safe mode to disable the device, shut down.
Then reset the bios/cmos by the jumper on board
Then load bios defaults
Make sure you set up pciexpress as graphics
Double check that multi monitor is disabled

I think that was it. Not at my pc at the moment but that worked ok for me.

Thanks for getting back to me, I apologise for my ignorance but what use is resetting the CMOS? I will check the other settings but im pretty sure its already set to disable multi monitor

as soon as you enable (even by mistake) the onboard GPU, the bios settings cannot be reversed, even if it shows otherwise, its a bug. Resetting the bios/cmos disables it again (default).

obviously note down all your other settings though.

Oh I see I will try now

@Overlag just created an account to say thank you - had this issue when upgrading to windows 10 and after much frustration now solved after following your advice - thank you!
