Intel(R) UHD Graphics prevents external monitors from working

piotr-warsaw — Sun, 14 Jan 2024 17:51:10 GMT

Hey,

I bought a set of two external monitors and they don't work on my computer (no signal) unless I disable the Intel(R) UHD Graphics Display Adapter. After the disabling everything works correctly.
I went into the logs and I see a number of errors around oem46.inf, display.inf having a problem with starting:

Device PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_9BC4&SUBSYS_14321025&REV_05\3&11583659&0&10 had a problem starting.

Driver Name: oem46.inf
Service: igfx

I tried to reinstall the latest version of the Intel Graphics driver: 31.0.101.2115 (the version for 6th-10th generation and the version for 7th-10th generation) as well as I tried with the version 26.20.100.7985 recommended on the Acer Product Support page for my laptop (unfortunately it doesn't seem like they tested the drivers with Windows 11):

Information about my system:

OS Name Microsoft Windows 11 Home
Version 10.0.22631 Build 22631
OS Manufacturer Microsoft Corporation
System Manufacturer Acer
System Model Predator PT515-52
Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-10750H CPU @ 2.60GHz, 2592 Mhz, 6 Core(s), 12 Logical

I also have an additional GPU:
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 with Max-Q design: version 546.33

Hello Piotr-warsaw,

Thank you for posting in our Intel communities.

We understand that you are experiencing issues with your two external monitors, and they don't work on your system unless you disable the Intel (R) UHD Graphics Display Adapter.

Based on our research, the issue that we have happens when a computer can't support the display in terms of colour depth, pixel count, or interface options. The monitor's cable is damaged or malfunctioning. The computer's display drivers aren't handling the secondary display properly.

For the troubleshooting steps, please follow the troubleshooting steps outlined on this page:

Troubleshooting Issues with Multiple Displays:

Please let us know the result of the troubleshooting steps that you will be performing so we can decide what we can do next.

Thank you, and have a great day!

Best regards,
