GPU driver timeout patch

You can download wddm_timeout_patch.reg (registry file) and run it on Windows 8 or 10 with Administrator rights. Or you can prepare the file yourself using the below specified steps.

To disable WDDM recovery, create a file called wddm_timeout_patch.reg with the following contents:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\GraphicsDrivers]
"TdrLevel"=dword:00000000

Run this registry file as Administrator and reboot.

If you have other issues, please refer to the following Troubleshooting article: https://support.passware.com/hc/en-us/articles/221743488-GPU-acceleration-troubleshooting

Add a line “Interactive” in /etc/X11/xorg.conf:

Section "Device"
    Identifier     "Device0"
    ...
    Option         "Interactive"        "False"
EndSection

You might need to restart X11 or reboot your system entirely before this change works and the warning in Passware Kit disappears.

Newer versions of Ubuntu (and maybe other distributions as well) do not use xorg.conf any longer. Alternatively, they can use the folder /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/ where you can add snippets of the config. Create a new file, call it “20-nvidia.conf” and put in the following content:

Section "Device"
Identifier "MyGPU"
Driver "nvidia"
Option "Interactive" "0"
EndSection

You may need to restart the system afterwards.
