Disabling Software instead of uninstalling?

Hello

I would like to know if there is a way of disabling programs instead of uninstalling them. The effect of disabling should be that it is "removed" from the system as if it was uninstalled but I can reenable it to keep all the data. I want to know this because my GTA 5 broke and reinstalling didn't help, so I have to troubleshoot every single thing, including programs, if it is causing my game to crash.

Thanks.

I'm not aware of such a feature. Have you tried verifying the integrity of your game files?

That's true. However the log file suggests that something is messing with my devices/vga. In addition, the game has worked before (roughly a month ago) and since then I've installed some drivers and that stuff. I think I meant the wrong thing when I said program, I mean just generally something that you install. I already sent a support ticket after trying numerous "100% fixes" on the internet but I guess I'll have to wait for the automatic support response that doesn't help at all and comes 3 months late..

so you updated your GPU drivers and then it stopped working?

just revert to older drivers from before when it worked

I've tried both things already, still the same.

If you're interested enough, heres the .log file from the game: http://pastebin.com/62u1yar8
