I see, and how is that possible ?
Thanks for joining by the way 
There are several ways, but the most likely is when the graphics drivers are Necessary and the Motherboard OS attempts to load them, but the drivers have not yet reached initialization in the Linux Kernel.
This crashes, leaving the user with a non-graphics driven minimal screen.
The Nomodeset parameter tells the system to not load the full graphics drivers until after initialization within the kernel.

Followed the steps and got back where I was at the beginning of this thread, now I'm going to try to follow the nvidia driver steps further

I tried to open the nvida x server settings (step 17), but nothing happens. Not even a white screen. Also brightness and internet stuff are still gone.
sudo lshw -c display
shows that the nvidia card en intel uhd graphics are both unclaimed
Graphics in About shows llvmpipe as graphics
Can you paste the output for the intel graphics?
You are Sure that Secure Boot is disabled, right?
What is the terminal output of
uname -a
You may need to add KMS:
Same as above for adding nomodeset, but add nvidia-drm.modeset=1 instead.
sudo nano /etc/default/grub
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nvidia-drm.modeset=1"
sudo update-grub
Did all that and nothing changed
sudo lshw -c video
You said it showed the Intel onboard graphics unclaimed as well?
yes when I do:
sudo lshw -c display
Ok, please show that output...
now its gone after changing the grub file
Strange.... it should show their existence, even if KMS is enabled.
Can you revert grub to "quiet splash"; sudo update-grub, then boot into the working kernel and try lshw?

I am following this threat too before i go to sleep.
Can you also check if you blacklisted the noveau driver correctly ?
cat /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-nvidia-nouveau.conf
and post the output as well

This can happen when secure boot is turned on
Try the nvidia-x-server settings again please and check if secure boot is disabled
double checked that secure boot and legacy are disabled and nvidia-x-server settings still doesn't work
The 5.10 kernel is shown to support the UHD 630...
@Michel ... think higher then 5.11.0-43 is needed for this hardware?
