HD4600 uninstalled when installing a dedicated graphic card

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to install Widi on my computer, i have an inte AC 7260 for the wifi and an i7 4770 with hd4600 integrated.

The thing is that i need the drivers of the HD4600 to be installed to be able to use widi.

I tried to install the last version but it doesn't work.

Finally, i unmounted my GTX 770, and then the intel HD4600 worked, and so the widi.

But if i reinstall my GTX 770, then the HD4600 drivers are uninstalled and the widi isn't working again..

Do you know a way to keep the drivers of the HD4600 OK even if there is a dedicated graphic card?

I hope you'll understand what i want to do,

Thanks in advance,

Cdt,

This is an expected behavior because the onboard graphics controller will be disabled automatically when a PCI card is connected to the motherboard.

Exactly!

It is necessary to use the onboard graphics to have WiDi but the onboard will be disabled when the PCI is connected so if you want to keep using Intel® WiDi the solution here would be to disconnect the video card.
