Restart my graphics card without rebooting?
- by defaye
Wondered if it is possible to use DevCon to restart a display device as a stop-gap solution to artifacts left over from a graphics card malfunction?
In particular it leaves my cursor very un-user-friendly:
I found out the hardware ID of my display adapter through device manager (below)
[(windows key + pause break) - device manager - display adapters - right click your display adapter - properties - details - hardware ids.]
I tried the commands (opened with admin privileges) devcon restart "PCI\VEN_1002" and devcon restart =display but it always come back with No devices restarted..
Is it even possible to restart the graphics card without a system reboot?
