Windows 10: Lenovo NUC LAGGY / graphic driver refusing access

No idea what's going on here!! Windows 10 Pro on a little Lenovo NUC / biz PC, used for family computing, a little gaming etc.

I've used MSCONFIG, task man, to disable startup services.

-hitting windows key takes 5-10 seconds to show the Win menu.

-any browser lags, then I get a windows message "Firefox (or chrome etc) has been blocked from accessing your graphics hardware"

-moving mouse around can be smooth, until I try to start any s/w.

Lenovo Think Pad T450S Intel Graphics Driver

I have a Lenovo Think Pad with the intel 5500 graphics driver. Have downloaded latest driver software from Lenovo and Intel and Device Manager still shows incompatibility with Windows 10 so it must be using a generic driver. I cannot connect to any external
monitor. Any suggestions?

 

Windows 10 fails to locate my graphics card and refuses to install drivers for the chipset.

Hi John,

Thank you for posting on Microsoft community.

I understand the inconvenience you are facing in Windows 10.

I would suggest you some steps which you can try resolving this issue.

Follow these steps to update graphics drivers.

• Press Windows key + X and select Device Manager.
• Search for Display Adapters and expand it.
• Right click on the graphics driver and select
  Update driver software.

Uninstall and Reinstall the graphics card drivers
and check. Refer:
How to: Install and Update Hardware Drivers in Windows 10

I would also suggest you checking for the updates through Windows updates and check if it helps you getting the latest drivers to install.

If it doesn't help then I would suggest you to download the drivers from the manufacturer and install it in Compatibility mode and check if it helps.

Application has been blocked from accessing Graphics Drivers

Hi,

The problem could occur if the Windows is not Up-to-date or if the drivers are not compatible. Hence I suggest you to install Windows Updates first and then try installing the display drivers.

• On the search bar type Settings, Select Update & Recovery.
• This should bring up the Check for Updates window. Install updates.

Reinstall the graphics card drivers installed on the computer from manufacturer's website and check if that helps fix the issue.

Refer to the following steps to uninstall Display Device from the Device Manager:

• 
  Press Windows and X keys together.
  
• 
  Click on Device Manager.
  
• 
  Locate and Expand the Display Adapter.
  
• 
  Right-click on the Display Device.
  
• 
  Click on Uninstall.
  
• 
  Restart the PC and install the graphics card driver.
  

Hope this helps. Get back to us if the issue persists.
