Step 2. Type msconfig and click OK.

Step 3. In the Boot tab, check Safe boot and hit OK.

Turn off Backgrounds Software

Step 1. Type msconfig in the search bar to run System Configuration.

Step 2. In the Service tab, check Hide all Microsoft services, tap on Disable all and then click on OK.

Step 4. In the Startup interface of Task Manager, right-click each item and select Disable.

Step 1. Type Device Manager in the search bar and hit Enter to launch Device Manager.

Step 2. Click on Display adapters.

Step 3. Right-click your graphics cards and select Uninstall device.

Step 4. Check Delete the driver software for this device and click Uninstall to confirm this operation.

Step 5. Once the driver is uninstalled, the operating system will automatically install a new one for the graphics card.

Update the Graphics Driver

Likewise, updating the graphics drivers also works fine to address some graphics-related issues such as 100% GPU usage.

Step 1. Open Device Manager and click Display adapter.

Step 2. Right-click the graphics card and choose Update driver.
