Windows 10: what happends when you deactivate your graphics driver in the task manager?

My younger brother disabled his radeon driver for some reason in the taskmanager so that it wont even start on boot.

So i was wondering what that would do, worse perfomance or does it not make a difference at all?

Hi Daryl,

Thanks for updating.

Have you tried the troubleshooting steps suggested in previous post? If yes please share the results to assist you further.

I would suggest you to uninstall and reinstall Graphic drivers and check.

Steps to uninstall the Graphics Card Drivers.

• • • • 
        
• Press "Windows Logo" + "X" keys on the keyboard.
• Click on "Device Manager" from that list.
• Search for the Graphics Card from the device list, right click on it and then select "Uninstall". On the un-installation window, if you have an option: "Delete the driver software for this device" you may select that and
  then remove the corrupted drivers from the computer.
• Follow the on-screen instructions to complete it and then restart the computer if prompted.
  
• Download the latest Graphics adapter driver setup file from the manufacturer’s website and install it.
  • • • 
        

If the issue persists follow the steps below.

• Open Task Manager (Ctrl+Shift+Esc)
• Click the More Details arrow to expand the view
• Scroll down to Desktop Window Manager (it's in the "Windows Processes" group)
• Right click it and choose End Task.
• Check the Abandon unsaved data and shut down box, then click
  Shut Down. (Note: this warning is misleading, Windows will not shut down -- it just restarts the window manager).
  
• After a moment, the start menu and taskbar should work again.

Do let us know the status of the issue. Thank you.
