This can easily be fixed by removing this virus from your computer by performing a complete antivirus scan.
• Corrupted Files: Another common culprit behind this error is the presence of corrupted files on the computer which can not only lead to this issue but it can also damage the storage sectors on the Hard Drive that you are using. It is recommended to get rid of any corrupted files and try to repair the HDD/SSD to ensure proper dispensation of storage.
• GPU Drivers: GPU drivers are also a common trigger behind this issue if they haven’t been properly installed or have been corrupted during the installation process. It is recommended to try and replace these drivers and make sure that they are properly installed on your system.
• Hardware Acceleration: If you have enabled hardware acceleration on your computer, it is possible that it is preventing the GPU drivers from working properly and is causing this error. Therefore, if you want to fix the Video Scheduler Internal Error Windows 10, it is recommended to disable Hardware Acceleration at least temporarily to ensure that it is not causing this issue on your computer.
