How to force use of default, VGA graphics

I have some faint reason to suspect that the Nvidia graphics adapter is
preventing the latest feature update from succeeding. I have read before
about how to disable it so the system defaults to use the native gpu but
can't find it. How do I do it?

catalog.update.microsoft.com has the Patch Tuesday Cumulatives.
If you suspected a security patch was not downloading for
the wrong reason, you can install the .msu file you download
by double-clicking it. Cumulatives are around a 700MB download.

Similarly, if Windows Update won't offer an OS Upgrade
(from say 17134 to 17763), then you can download the
DVD and do it from there. While Win10 is running,
insert the DVD, and execute "setup.exe" off the 17763
Win10 DVD. That will kick off an install. It will not
try to queue up drivers, and if you had an FX5200 video
card (no driver available), the Win10 install will
boot up running the Microsoft Basic Display Adapter
(VESA frame buffer) driver. A notification box will pop up
saying "searching for video driver" or similar, but of
course, nothing will happen because there isn't a driver.
And the box could run forever with only MBDA. The box
would be no good for a 3D gamer (the games wouldn't work).
The box would be fine for email.

Note that the download page for the Win10 ISO, is not
currently offering 17763, but might still be offering
the 17134 DVD. Make absolutely certain, as of today,
what you're downloading, so you won't be downloading
4.5GB of unusable materials.

If you must have 17763 right fricken now, you can try
Heidoc and see if it can generate a link.

https://www.heidoc.net/joomla/techno...-download-tool

Download: Windows ISO Downloader.exe
Version: 7.10
Release Date: 1 October 2018
Requirements: Windows 7 or newer, .NET Framework 4.x,
Internet Explorer 8 or newer.

The program may have a coin miner in it, but it will
prompt and ask you if it can run (coin miner) while you use the program.
The program only need be run long enough to generate a
Win10 URL, "Copy to Clipboard", paste to Notepad, for
each URL wanted, then you can quit the program and
use a regular browser to download your Win10 DVD.
You don't have to use any built-in download capability
in the above program itself.

And Heidoc does have a reference to 17763 October Upgrade.
I was able to generate URLs. These would be links to the
dangerous version, that deletes orphan directories that
used to be pointed to by Junction Points. I didn't have
a problem when I installed with that, but... YMMV.

Have fun,

Sounds like you are asking how to reconfigure the BIOS to use the
onboard video rather than the video adapter. Look in the BIOS settings.
Since you did not give any specifics about brand and model of your
computer or its motherboard, only you can look up that info. You could
just hunt around in the BIOS settings to see which one enables/disables
the onboard video.

Or just take the offending video card out of the system and leave just
the onboard video. For sure that'll do it

I'm sure! That's a last resort. An earlier post suggested checking to
see if there's a BIOS setting to do it. There isn't. But I found that I
could disable the Nvidia card in Dev Manager. That causes it to switch
to the internal GPU. There's a Fn-shift key that's supposed to do the
same thing but it does not work. I think that it did once upon a time.
Meanwhile, I can achieve what I want.
