Windows is an operating system designed to run on millions of computers with settings totally different, therefore, more than an operating system, we could call it a work of engineering. macOS, the operating system Apple for its computers, it is designed to run on a computer with a material very specific, so it should be perfect and have no problems, but it doesn’t.
Linux also works on thousands of completely different computers, but it doesn’t have the same support in the form of drivers as Microsoft. In addition to the hardware built into the computer, operating systems must also offer hardware support of third parties.
Since operating system developers cannot be involved in everything, it is the manufacturers who must release drivers for their products to work with the corresponding operating system. If they don’t exist, there is no driver for the operating system to recognize it, there is no way to make it work.
If we talk about hardware that connects to a computer, the most common is a graphics card. This hardware replaces the graphics system of the motherboard with one that has greater functionality and allows you to get the most out of the equipment depending on the hardware that has been added.
Both Nvidia as AMD and just like IntelPeriodically releases new updates to the drivers that manage their hardware primarily to provide support for new games hitting the market. However, just as Windows is not a perfect operating system (like others), neither are software from graphics card manufacturers.
Third-party software that we install on Windows must work hand-in-hand with the operating system and, unfortunately, this is not always the case. In the case of graphics cards, this is even more important since the computer video output. If any of them give an error we have a problem.
Restart the chart with a keyboard shortcut
If the chart has a problem, the easiest thing to do is to turn off the PC and turn it back on. Although it is true that we can restart your computerThis option doesn’t always work, so turning it off is always the best option.
We can also deactivate and reactivate the card drivers of the device Managera slow process that sometimes involves restarting the PC. However, there is also another much faster and simpler method that will take no more than 20 seconds.
Windows has a feature available via a keyboard shortcut that allows restart chart without having to shut down the PC or temporarily disable graphics drivers. The keyboard shortcut we are talking about is Win + CTRL + Shift + B.
By pressing this key combination, Windows will reset the graphicsthe image will flash black for a few seconds and beep. This keyboard shortcut only affects the performance of the graphics card, so there is no need to close any of the applications that we have open in the foreground or background.
We can carry out this process even if we are gaming, as long as the Win key is not blocked by the keyboard or even by the game.
