Many a time it may so happen that programs on your Windows 10 PC get denied of accessing graphics hardware. The message says that an application has been blocked from accessing graphics hardware. One of the common scenarios is when your PC is stuck for some reason when playing a game. This somehow misconfigures the driver, and when an application tries to access the graphics driver, it just fails. In this guide, we share how you can fix Windows 10 application has been blocked from accessing graphics hardware error.
In my experience, the problem majorly happens where the driver is not compatible with your existing Windows 10 version, and mostly fails post a major update. This causes the GPU to take more time to respond to graphics request and mostly fails. Let’s take a look at the possible solutions.
