So this setting dosen't show up for me. I have tried The RegEdit solution by adding DWORD called "HwSchMode" with the vaue set to 2 and still nothing apears. What can I do now? Thanks.

Where did hardware accellerated GPU scheduling go?

Hi

Welcome to the Microsoft community.

The hardware acceleration option in win11 is hidden for some reason. There are certain methods you can use to try to see if you can fix it.



1. Use the registry to create a new value and try to set it.

Search Regedit in the search box and open the registry window.

Locate Computer/HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Control/GraphicsDrivers

In the right margin, create a new DWORD, Name the new DWORD "HwSchMode", double-click HwSchMode, set the value to 2, and then click OK, restart the computer to see if the hardware acceleration option appears (Settings > System > Display > Graphics Settings)

（Disclaimer: Generally, modifying registry subkeys or work group is intended for advanced users, administrators, and IT Professionals. It can help fix some problems, however, serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you follow these steps carefully. For further protection, back up the registry before you modify it. Then, you can restore the registry if a problem occurs.

2. locate Settings > System > Display > Graphics Settings > and click on "Change Default Graphics Settings." Then, toggle off the Then, toggle off the switch under "Hardware-Accelerated GPU Scheduling" and select "Yes" from the User Access Control prompt.

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.
