    why is my video on all platforms lagging and/or freezing?


    I have windows 11 basic edition. All my system requirements were met when it was installed. When I watch videos on platforms such as youtube or any other platform does not seem to matter the video freezes after about say 5 minutes or so. I try to scroll the mouse and its been frozen. Not my cursor but the video page. I can get out of it by minimizing the window and it seems to stop the lag and/or freeze. That is if I catch it in time if I do not then my system completely freezes and I end up having to cntrl/alt/delete to get to task manager, which can take minutes and end task on my browser

  2. Video and audio lagging on Windows 10

    I have tried every step that you suggested with no good results. I have a TOSHIBA SATELLITE L675D-S7049..

    The exact problem is the video and the sound lags and makes a buzzing sound . it does it on all videos and sound. even on iTUNES

    Videos lag or freeze when playing

    Set page file to system managed size. Or if you have SSD you could use no page file. On my low end tablet videos stream fine on youtube without a page file.

    If you use PotPlayer you could open videos directly and experiment with resolutions to see if you get smoother playback.

    Watch Youtube/Twitch smoothly on very low end systems

    Other than that try getting advice on fully removing then reinstalling your graphics driver. I can't help you with that.

    Or try the standalone version of Vivaldi browser and see if you get the same problem.

    Random lag spikes

    Hi,

    We would like to know more about your lag issue:

    • What browser are you using when you experience a lag?
    • Does the lag occur in a particular game?

    In the meantime, we suggest you run the System Maintenance troubleshooter. Here are the steps:

    • Press Windows Key + X.
    • Click on Control Panel.
    • Select Troubleshooting.
    • On the left pane, click on View All.
    • Click on System Maintenance to run the troubleshooter.

    Looking forward to your response.
