Can HP allow us Omen users to have the privilege of using the integrated graphics card?

So I recently learned that HP omen laptops have their integrated graphics card disabled. I have no idea why. I have the rtx 2060 HP omen 15 and it's an amazing laptop but the battery life is honestly not great. 3 hrs at max is not something I would even call decent. I have tried all I can; here's a list of things I have tried to improve the battery life:

• Battery saver mode
• HP omen cool
• Undervolting
• Capping the max cpu clock speed
• Running laptop on nvidia battery boost
• Disabling fan always on (from bios)

And none of them have helped the battery life by a lot. Maybe a slight 10 - 30 mins improvement. 

I'm assuming this is an issue with the power hungry GPU always being on. 

Why would the integrated graphic card be disabled? What's the reason?

Thank you!

Thank you for posting back.

I appreciate your efforts to try and resolve the issue. To get the answer to this question, integrated graphics card is system managed and this privilege is limited cannot modify or change.

Hope this helps! Keep me posted for further assistance.
