Problem after NVIDIA proprietary driver update - Linux Mint

I'm using a laptop in which I have both an NVIDIA graphic card and the Intel integrated one. Before I updated the NVIDIA driver through Linux Mint update manager, I used to have them both configured using NVIDIA settings and NVIDIA Prime. After the update the driver manager marks the NVIDIA driver as installed, but the Intel graphic card has the following sentence written below "This device is not working" and the only option possible is "Do not use this device". Both xserver-xorg-video-intel, mesa-utils and nvidia-settings are still installed (I've also tried to reinstall them) and I have SeureBoot disabled. When I try to run nvidia-settings it return an empty page and the following error is displayed: ERROR: NVIDIA driver is not loaded ERROR: Unable to load info from any available system How can I fix this situation? Thanks! This is the output from lspci -nnk | grep "VGA\|'Kern'\|3D\|Display" -A2 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller : Intel Corporation Device [8086:3e9b] Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc.
