How to Restart Your Graphics Driver in Windows 10 & 11
By Timothy Tibbetts |
Windows 10 & 11 has a little-known keyboard shortcut to restart your NVIDIA, AMD, or Intel graphics card.
Often, if you're experiencing graphics issues, including blurriness, a black screen, a frozen screen, or even gaming issues, your first move is to reboot your computer. You might even have to do a hard reset (hold down the power button).
Before you take those steps, try pressing the Win + Ctrl + Shift + B keys.
Your screen should flicker, go blank for a few seconds, and you will hear a beep.
Pressing this key combination might take a few tries to get it right, but you'll know when your screen goes blank that it worked.
If everything looks good, you have successfully restarted your graphic drivers.
You might consider updating your graphics card driver.
