Disable hardware video acceleration

So, probably, many users know what hardware acceleration is. Hardware acceleration is one of the ways to improve computer performance. This is a very effective method and very often it helps improve computer performance. But there are cases when errors occur with hardware acceleration, or the system starts to work slower. And they arise due to the fact that hardware acceleration is fully enabled. What to do in this situation? Of course, you need to disable hardware acceleration. And it's not that difficult to do.

So, first of all, you will need to right-click on the desktop and select "Screen resolution".

After this, a new window will open. Here you will need to find and click on the item "More options".


This will take you to the properties menu. Here you will need to select the section "Diagnostics". And in this section, select the only item "Change parameters".


In the new window, you will only need to disable hardware acceleration. It is worth noting that not all computers have this function. In some cases, hardware acceleration is quite a useful thing, but if it is not needed, it can be disabled in a matter of time. By the way, if you were unable to enable or disable hardware acceleration (the slider was inactive), then try updating your video card drivers from the manufacturer’s official website or using DriverPack Solution programs.
