How to Disable Hardware-Accelerated GPU Scheduling

Last updated 1 min read

Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling (HAGS) lets the graphics card manage its own memory. It can help performance, but with some drivers and games it causes overlay and rendering problems. The steps are the same on Windows 10 and 11.

  1. Right-click the desktop and choose Display settings.

  2. Scroll down and click Graphics.

  3. Click Change default graphics settings. On newer Windows 11 builds, open Advanced graphics settings instead.

  4. Set Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling to Off.
