Use the iGPU by default

I enabled "IGPU Multi-Monitor", and both GPUs work indeed. I also set the "Primary Graphics Adapter" to "Onboard" (rather than "PCI Express"), but the nvidia is anyways used as main one: the ASRock splash screen and UEFI are shown in a monitor connected to the nvidia card, if monitor cables are plugged into both VGAs. My UEFI firmware is already up to date (version 3.30). Is there anything I can do to use the intel card as default?

Let me guess, the connection between the video card and monitor is either DisplayPort or HDMI, and the connection between Intel iGPU and its monitor is DVI?

I doubt there is any way to change the way it works now. The video card will always be primary, at least when the PC starts.

You can change the Primary monitor in the Windows Display option in Control Panel, and with the NVIDIA Control Panel (if you installed a driver for the video card), which will be the primary monitor once Windows boots. If that works for you, you're done.

But before Windows starts, the video card will win. I also find DisplayPort and HDMI have precedence over DVI, at least on the same video source.
