Yes actually I meant to quote post #1506 but made a mistake.
Sleep causes restart now so I'll try to fix it.

sorry for my bad English,

I have installed Mac OS Sierra and now wanted to upgrade to Mac OS High Sierra with the following error message: "com.apple.WindowServer with ran for 0 seconds and that it will respawn in 10sec."

I get it with this guide but not there, can give me a hints?

As for disabling your discrete graphics, read post #1.

I fixed sleep issue but now after waking from sleep my device works normally for like 5 minutes and then reboots. Did that happen to any one before?
Also my touchpad stops functioning so the problem could be caused by the VoodooI2C kext.

No "Problem Reporting" files attached.
Read FAQ, "Problem Reporting" again. Carefully. Attach all requested files/output.

Easy way to find out: Remove the VoodooI2C kext.

Why are you looking at the patches in the Probook repo?
The guide in post #1 does not use them.
 
I used patch Disable Nvidia from DSDT -> System Report it ok but i boot install High Sierra error "Window Server Service only ran for 0 seconds". It can be seen that it is not completely disabled. Pls help me check it. Thanks you so much!
Code: 
#Maintained by: RehabMan for: Laptop Patches
#graphics_REG-disable.txt

# The purpose of this patch is to add code to _REG in EC
# to disable nvidia/Radeon
#
# The path of _OFF may have to be customized to match your SSDTs
# The patch attempts to identify the correct _REG by using
# the ACPI PNP identifier for the EC.

into method label _REG parent_hid PNP0C09 insert
begin
//added to turn nvidia/radeon off\n
If (LAnd(LEqual(Arg0,3),LEqual(Arg1,1)))\n
{\n
    External(\_SB.PCI0.PEG0.PEGP._OFF, MethodObj)\n
    \_SB.PCI0.PEG0.PEGP._OFF()\n
}\n
end;

Your ioreg shows the device is not disabled (so does System Information).
Your _OFF method has EC related code that must move to _REG.
