Windows 10: Can I get my screen to stay in full screen all the time? I've watched videos but that...

I watched a video and got through to the last couple of screens he was showing and then I didn't have any of the links or buttons he said to click on.

Screen flickering while watching videos full screen

It just started recently that everytime I watch any video in full screen, that screen it is on flickers. I have seen, that it happens if any other program causes any popup (like Origins "a friend started playing X game"), but it is not limited to this.

My PC itself is working fine, meaning that powersupply and driver etc. are all okay. I reinstalled windows 2-3 months back (the flickering might have started after this but not sure).

What could be a cause for this flickering and how can I fix it?

Note: The flickering is a blackscreen of about 5-10 frames I'd guess and it happens about 3-5 times within like 2 seconds and can occur everywhere in the video. I have the feeling, that the less active I am on the second screen, the less flickering I have. Also if I rewind the video after a flickering, the flickering does most of the time not occur again.

Specs:

• Asus GTX 1070 TI
  
• Asus ROG STRIX Z270F
  
• Intel I7-7700K
  
• 2x Acer Predator XB241H
  
• 650W power supply

Browser video won't stay full screen

Hey everyone,

When I'm watching a video full screen within my browser (Firefox) it will randomly leave the full screen view and go back to the standard view. It doesn't always happen, but I'd guess it occurs about a third of the time. It seems to happen mostly when I'm viewing a video on Youtube, but it does happen on embedded Youtube videos that are on another site and videos using other platforms like Vimeo. I've had this issue using both flash and html5 players, different versions of windows, Firefox browsers, and even different computers. Given that, I suspect it has something to do with my Firefox configuration, but I have no clue what could be causing it and since the problem doesn't occur all the time, it's hard to troubleshoot.

Has anyone run into this and/or have any suggestions on what might be going on?

Thanks,
Jason

 

HDMI how to watch video

I have been in the hospital for two months (really old also). My windows 10 PC is dedicated primarily to watching videos. It is already setup to watch videos using an HDMI cable (already attached), but I have forgotten how get the video to play from the computer to my big screen tv.

I know it has to be simple, but I just cannot remember how. I could use a step by step how to.

Thanks
