Getting applicaton blocked from graphics message

Topic

I keep getting this notice on my Win 10 laptop. This has happened since I bought it. Any idea what causes it and how to fix it?
“Application has been blocked from accessing graphics hardware.
Application firefox.exe has been blocked from accessing graphics hardware.”

There doesn’t seem to be any reason for when this happens.

It would help to know which version of Win10 and which version of Firefox you are running.

But one thing you might try:
In Options, on the General page under Performance,, you might try turning off hardware acceleration and see if it helps.

The problem may be with a bad display driver.

1. First try by reinstalling your display Graphic driver.
If the problem persist,
2. Run DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Scanhealth
3. Run DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth
4. Run SFC /scannow.
