Windows 10: Browser and Video Player freezes when switching windows

I have been facing this issue since past few updates. when i switch between two windows suppose first one is nodepad and other one is browser then after few frequent switching browser window gets frozen i mean i can click on url but i can't click or scroll or anything into perticular opened tab its like frozen below the search bar.


also same happens when i play netflix or youtube and switch window it get frozen again i can listen the audio but video is stuck. i thought its Microsoft edge first but then google chrome also started doing it. i believe this is windows 10 issue. also there is some kind of glitch when swithcing windows frequently sometimes it switches wrong window or sometimes it switches tabs.


Same thing happening on windows media player and VLC player as well when i switch window they get frozen.


To fix this i have to either change windows one or two more times or i will press Window+D key twice to make it unfrozen.


i have updated my computer's drivers but still its happening.


My computer specs :


Processor : Ryzen 5 3550

GPU : Rx560x 4GB

Ram : 8GB ddr4

Windows installed in 128GB nvme drive and upto 30GB is free

New Windows Media Player Plugin for Firefox

Anyone who uses Windows Vista and Mozilla Firefox may be pleased to hear that the Windows Media Player team has now released a plugin for Firefox that should allow the browser to play WMP content on websites. Here are the steps to get it working:

• Installation of the Windows Media Player Firefox Plugin may require administrative access to your PC. It is recommended that you close all other open browser windows before continuing with the installation.
• Click the Install button to automatically download and install the Windows Media Player Firefox Plugin.
• Depending on your security settings, you may see a Security Warning dialog box. Click Install to install the plugin.

There is a known issue if you are using Firefox version 2.0.0.3 on Windows Vista with the installer failing with error code -203. To work around this simply restart Firefox (you will get a notification that Windows Vista will be changing the Firefox compatibility settings) and then install again - the second time should succeed.

The download is available here, and the new plugin works on all versions of Windows XP and Windows Vista (although it is mostly intended for Vista, as that currently has no WMP support in Firefox).

Embedded videos freezing


Recently I installed Windows 10, upgrading from 8.1. Now videos embedded in emails freeze after playing for a few seconds. Mainly it's the ads that often precede and accompany shared videos that are freezing, but when this happens, I can't get beyond them to see the shared vid. This occurs with all browsers that I have tried, e.g., MSN, Google, IE. Suggestions?
