Stuck on Enable Hardware Acceleration screen

If you have already enabled hardware acceleration in your browser settings but still cannot bypass the notification, your browser may be blocking specific graphics features due to driver compatibility or internal flags.

Follow the troubleshooting steps below for your browser.

Chrome

  1. 1

    Check your Graphics Feature Status

    Open a new tab in Chrome and type chrome://gpu into the address bar. Review the Graphics Feature Status list. If items like WebGL, WebGL2, or Hardware Accelerated are listed as "Disabled" or "Software only," proceed to the steps below.

    1. Navigate to chrome://flags in your address bar.
    2. Search for Override software rendering list (or #ignore-gpu-blocklist).
    3. Set the dropdown menu to Enabled.
    4. Click the Relaunch button that appears at the bottom of the page.
