Using the `--off` option in xrandr seems to work for me: $ xrandr --output DVI-1 --off You can list your available outputs and their status using the plain `xrandr` command, I suspect what you'll be looking for on a laptop is an output like LVDS. There are also GUIs for this, such as arandr,

Hi Murari, Thank you for this suggestion. It seems to have worked as expected. My laptop defaults to Arch, but I can boot Windows with the second entry. I hope I remember to upgrade the renamed image when systems-boot changes. I don’t anticipate that being too often, thankfully. Best and thanks

Hi Zachary, I have an HP laptop as well, and I think the problem you're facing is that neither HP nor Windows are good EFI citizens. On the HP laptop that I have, for instance, the EFI boot manager does not respect any global NVRAM variables except for BootNext. Default, BootOrder etc. are all ign
