In example implementations, an apparatus is provided. The apparatus includes an interface, an integrated graphical processing unit (GPU), a discrete GPU, and a controller. The interface is to receive a connection to an external display device. The integrated GPU and the discrete GPU are communicatively coupled to the interface. The controller is communicatively coupled to the integrated GPU and the discrete GPU and is to deactivate the discrete GPU and activate the integrated GPU in response to detection of the external display device connected to the interface.

Activation of integrated graphical processing units

Example implementations relate to Basic Input Output System updates. In some examples, a computing device can include a memory, a processor to, in response to completion of a Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) update, generate and store a boot status variable in the memory, determine whether the BIOS update was successful, in response to the BIOS update being successful, delete the boot status variable from the memory and perform a power event, and in response to the BIOS update being unsuccessful, perform a BIOS recovery.
