Windows 10: How do I get back the accelerated hardware gpu?

My laptop fan was running high so I thought if I turned off the accelerated hardware gpu, it would alleviate it, but now my graphics are slow. So, when I went back to turn it back on, the toggle was not there any longer. How can I get it back?

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.

intel graphics & 'hardware acceleration' in chrome

It is not just for video decoding.

If you go to chrome://gpu you can see what is being accelerated.
