Troubleshooting the error “Hardware acceleration is disabled or not supported by the driver”
Every day, modern games, high-quality films and complex programs are turned on on the computer, which require hardware acceleration of the video adapter to work correctly. If problems suddenly arise and the system reports an error, then you should do some simple manipulations to troubleshoot problems with the driver or the video adapter itself. The first method
A fairly simple method to solve this problem is to allow your OS to install the latest updates.
Many users do not always run updates on their computer on time, because they do not consider this process important, but, as you can see, they are mistaken. Due to an outdated version of the OS, problems may arise with the correct display of data on the computer.
second method
But it happens that an error appears on the screen if the drivers are not installed on the system at all, or the drivers are outdated, or they are installed incorrectly.
To check this, go to “Start”, right-click on “My Computer” and select “Manage”.
In the window that opens, open the “Device Manager” tab. A list of devices will appear on the right, among which we find “Video adapters”. This is what an adapter will look like when it works correctly.
And this screenshot shows when there is a problem with the video adapter. This is not difficult to guess, because the yellow triangle with an exclamation mark is lit.
If the Internet connection is active on a computer with a problematic video adapter, then install the full version of the video adapter driver. To do this, right-click on the video adapter and select “Update drivers...”. And then “Automatically search for updated drivers.” After which the drivers will be searched and automatically updated. If this doesn't help, you can use DriverPack Solution program, which will automatically find and install all the necessary drivers.
Sometimes you need to install drivers manually. In this case, you need to know the manufacturer of the installed adapter. The most common manufacturer is Nvidia or Radeon.
You need to go to the manufacturer’s official website and download the appropriate drivers. Then install them and restart the computer.
A third method
If you are the owner of a not-so-new laptop, this error may occur due to driver incompatibility.
To avoid this problem, you need to download drivers that are suitable for the OS version. Next you need to download the Mobility Modder.NET program, which will allow you to adapt the drivers.
We launch the program, indicate where the downloaded drivers are located, and click the “Modify” button. Then install the drivers and reboot the computer.
Don't forget to remove old ones before installing new drivers. This problem is especially acute for many users, because there are many manufacturers of video adapters and their variations, and there is no specific solution for each specific case. If you have anything to add, please write.
