Issue


If you are experiencing an issue with not being able to select GPU mode because it is grayed out, updating your GPU drivers is often a good first step. Ensure that your drivers are up to date, as outdated drivers can cause compatibility issues.

If the problem persists after updating your drivers, check that your GPU is set as the primary card and configured for high performance.
