GTA 5 problem reset windows

This happened to me with GTA IV and Vista, but I don't have GTA V on the PC. Try what worked for me back then for your Win7 (making sure to run the game start file .exe in compatibility mode):

Right-click on the executable
Click Properties
Select the Compatibility tab
Check the box for 'Run this program in compatibility mode for', and select an earlier version of Windows in the drop down
Click Apply
