Disable Hardware Acceleration (GPU) on Visual Studio Code

VS Code Disable GPU Acceleration

Visual Studio Code frequently crashes linux. Using NVIDIA GPU

1. Open command pallete (Ctrl + Shift + P)
2. Enter "Preferences: Configure Runtime Arguments"
3. Add config: "disable-hardware-acceleration": true
4. Restart VS Code

Working for me as well. Thanks !!!!

Thanks!

Solved it from me as well thank you :)

Awesome thank you!

In my case there was a line already there for disabling, just had to uncomment it. Thanks.

If I start VS Code with:
/usr/bin/code --disable-accelerated-video-decode
it boots up but gives the following warning:
Warning: 'disable-accelerated-video-decode' is not in the list of known options, but still passed to Electron/Chromium.

But if I uncomment the "disable-hardware-acceleration": true line in the Configure Runtime Arguments" and restart it with normally it just opens up the VS Code window when I restart it and then crashes. Starting it with verbose I get the following as the last three lines:
[797079:0204/114044.796412:ERROR:gpu_process_host.cc(995)] GPU process exited unexpectedly: exit_code=133
[797079:0204/114044.796454:WARNING:gpu_process_host.cc(1364)] The GPU process has crashed 9 time(s)
[797079:0204/114044.796462:FATAL:gpu_data_manager_impl_private.cc(448)] GPU process isn't usable. Goodbye.

Any suggestions of what to try next?

Doesn't work (anymore?) on latest VS Code. You could pass --disable-gpu in the sense that the application would not complain about an unknown option, however a GPU process is still spawned, which you can check with nvtop.

THANKS!!!!
