Need help using integrated graphics while docked!

I feel like I already know this wont work but I thought I’d shoot it out here and see if anyone can help.  I have a Razerblade 16 with a 4080.  I want to be able to use my laptop for gaming on the road but I need it for office work while I am home.  I have a dock that charges 90w but it can’t keep up because whenever I dock it forces my external monitors to run off of the Dedicated graphics instead of the integrated.  My previous Dell XPS had no issues running my monitors off of the integrated but the Razer just won’t budge.  I was hoping there is some setting I am missing or something.  Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

    As far as I know with the Blade 16 all external output ports (usb c and hdmi) are directly connected to the 4080 only. So there is no way to run external monitors from the integrated graphics, because only the internal screen is connected to both GPUs.
    But maybe someone from razer can confirm this.

    From my past experience (also with other brands) it usually better for longevity of the laptop to use the provided power supply.  I had static charge issues with multiple brands in the past, using only docking stations.
    With some more background one might be able to blame either the laptop manufaturer for not dealing properly with the variety of wattage options or the docking station manufacturer for not providing proper electrical ground.
