0.4 SDK Beta borking Windows 8.1 on an Optimus-based laptop

Hello everyone,

we just got a DK2 and, being pretty excited to use it, I installed the 0.4 runtime installation went along fine) and restarted.

Upon restart, after the initial windows loading screen, I was greeted by a black screen. No desktop showing. The machine did not appear to have crashed completely (caps lock was still working) but no visuals whatsoever, no matter the wait.

A system restore fixed the problem, following which, I reproduced once more.

This is on a Dell M3800 with a Quadro K1100M in Optimus setup with the intel iGPU.

Oculus team, let me know if you'd like any logs or anything similar from the system.

    Did you check to make sure that the laptop isn't outputting to the Rift?

    Yup, I didn't even have the rift plugged in...
