Windows 10: Where did hardware accellerated GPU scheduling go?

This setting has been missing from the regular place in Win 11 for a couple of months now. where did it go?

Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling causing BSOD

Hi, I seem to be getting BSOD when using Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling = ON.

My configuration is:

• OS: Windows 10 2004 (build 19041.388)
• Motherboard: Asrock z77 extreme4 motherboard with Intel HD graphics 4000
• GPU: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1080

Windows features enabled:

• Virtual machine platform
• windows hypervisor platform
• windows sandbox
• windows subsystem for linux

I have one monitor (monitor1) connected to the GTX 1080 card, and the other (monitor2) to my integrated graphics on my motherboard. I have WSL2 and Docker running fine on my PC, so interoperability with Hyper-V is working well.

I have noticed that when I set Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling = ON, my PC has a BDOD whenever I place specific applications (like Remote Desktop Connection) within monitor2 which is using Intel HD graphics 4000. I also noticed I get a lot of HAXM errors in my event viewer e.g. HAXM can't work on system without VT support . I'm guessing my problems are a result of HAXM not being compatible with Hyper-V, so that when Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling = ON, it is trying to use HAXM for GPU acceleration on monitor2 (using Intel HD graphics 4000), which then results in a BSOD? The BSOD error reports a problem with dxgmms1.sys.

I have ordered some DisplayPort cables so that both monitors will run from the GPU, and will disable integrated graphics to avoid problems like this in the future.

Thanks for any insight.

 

Hardware Scheduling

I think the whole idea is to reduce latency for all hardware by loosening the reins so to speak and allowing dedicated hardware to manage itself, at the moment Windows controls every aspect of how hardware can operate and as a result the load on the CPU is greater than it should be. The GPU scheduling is the first step, more to follow. At least that is how I interpret what information is available so far.

 

is hardware Accelerated GPU Scheduling really worth?

I don't have that option despite having an NVidia GPU on this laptop.
