I need to unlock advanced BIOS settings

Francesco728 · ‎03-06-2023

Hi, I need to enable the gpu integrated in my processor, but I can't because it's locked and in order to unlock it I need to access the advanced settings of the BIOS, that are locked... So I need to unlock it.

hi

if you don't have an option, no need to look further
if you don't have a dual GPU switch system, the integrated CPU is blocked, because a dedicated graphics card is installed

I know that is blocked because I have a dedicated GPU, but I need to enable it anyway.

you can always try to search
but since time, we know here, that there is no indication in order to be able to open a probable hidden menu
this exists for some models, but not all!
what is your problem exactly, why would you want to use a less efficient graphics processor?

When switch the os in linux (dual boot) I need more battery autonomy, so it would be great to use the integrated GPU of the cpu instead of the gtx1660 ti

ok, sorry i don't use linux
there is no way to change the options, like under windows?

here, we will find only that

the problem is that neither in windows it can be changed, because the cpu graphic is blocked thought BIOS. I really can't understand why HP block the advanced options in BIOS. I am a computer scientist and I know what I am doing and since is MY pc I should be able to use the advanced BIOS settings at my risk.

but so far, each time this has been indicated, never seen back mentioning that an hp employee had said how to do it!
