Black screen after changed on Intel GPU Ubuntu 16.04

1. make sure you have > 4.13 kernel
   wget http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.13/linux-headers-4.13.0-041300_4.13.0-041300.201709031731_all.deb
   wget http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.13/linux-headers-4.13.0-041300-generic_4.13.0-041300.201709031731_amd64.deb
   wget http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.13/linux-image-4.13.0-041300-generic_4.13.0-041300.201709031731_amd64.deb
   sudo dpkg -i *.deb

2. Don't use Bumblebee - it bad works with Ubuntu 16.04. So delete this. And make sure you use Nvidia proprietary driver (384.111 current)
   sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall OR
   sudo apt install nvidia-prime nvidia-settings nvidia-384

3. Use Intel micro-code
   bash -c "$(curl -fsSL http://bit.ly/IGFWL-install)"

4. Change grub
   GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash acpi_rev_override=1"
   sudo update-grub2

I've followed the exact route. It worked perfectly until I switched to Intel GPU from Nvidia-Settings menu. Then I get black screen only. Now I removed nvidia* and things lapsed to old. Have you also seen the same problem? Do you have any tips?

@erogol
Try the newer 387, I've just installed them and everything seems to be good now. See

Also, not sure if related to your switching issue, but you can do the switch via CLI, using prime, as descriped in the gist I've linked to.

edit: also note that the gist suggests a newer kernel.

@erogol Could you please clarify the exact steps you took to be able to switch between the Nvidia and Intel GPUs on the Nvidia X Server Settings Menu? Thanks.
