How to Fix When dGPU is disabled, iGPU stops working

This mini-guide provides a structural approach to troubleshoot and fix the issue.

Prerequisites

  • Confirm your hardware specifications (CPU, GPU, Motherboard).
  • Ensure you have a bootable recovery USB and backup your EFI.

Fix Steps

  1. Check if your GPU requires WhateverGreen or specific boot-args (e.g., agdpmod=pikera).
  2. Ensure Metal acceleration is fully supported for your macOS version.
  3. Update Lilu and WhateverGreen to the latest versions.

Verification

  • Reboot and verify if the functionality is restored and stable under typical usage.

Greetings. When trying to disable dGPU via NVRAM (-wegnoegpu) or using SSDT-GPU-DISABLE (which I got), the iGPU stops displaying. The problem has started to appear since macOS Catalina. Maybe someone knows how to fix it?
