Not all hardware supports system-wide hardware acceleration. You’ll typically only find the option to enable or disable hardware acceleration on PCs with high-end GPUs. If you can’t adjust your hardware acceleration settings for the entire system, you can often disable the feature in certain apps, including Chrome, AutoCAD, Discord, and various games. If you have a dedicated GPU, you may see the option to open your GPU’s settings on the right-click menu. Depending on your GPU, you may be able to find the setting to disable hardware acceleration if you click that menu item.
If you don’t have a Troubleshoot tab, click the Properties button at the top of the window, and then click the Resources tab.
If hardware acceleration is turned on for your PC’s sound card, sound tasks may be shifted from the CPU to the audio card to avoid overtaxing the CPU. You can try disabling hardware acceleration if you’re experiencing high amounts of noise, choppy sound, and slow performance during audio playback.

Since the 2020 release of Windows 10 version 2004, Microsoft includes a new feature called Hardware Accelerated GPU Scheduling, which reduces latency and performance while running apps and games that use the GPU. This feature is only available if your have a separate GPU with updated drivers, so not everyone has access to the setting. Most GPU drivers are updated automatically, but you can always check the manufacturer’s website to see if new updates are available. [3] X Research source

After disabling the feature, you’ll be prompted to restart your computer. Hardware accelerated GPU scheduling will be turned off once your computer comes back up.
