Disable all use of the GPU

Hello,

My AMD GPU driver or the hardware (integrated in Ryzen 7700) is unstable and should not be used at any time. I also never felt the need to use it because the CPU is already really fast. Now as I was browsing through video filters and watching their little preview sample, it happened that the video driver crashed. First the screen freezes for a few seconds, then turns off and on again. After that, usually the app using the GPU also dies, and so did Shotcut. Luckily it could recover from auto-saved data, but I don’t want it to crash every two minutes now.

This is a fresh installation of version 25.5.11 on Windows 11. How can I disable all use of the GPU in Shotcut?

It is not possible to disable usage of the GPU. Even your operating system is using it. You can change your driver version, buy a different GPU, or install Linux.
