Windows 10: Cannot access any website with any videos or any videos on my computer

I don't know what's going on with my computer.


My computer suddenly stopped playing any video whatsoever.


I can't access any video on my computer. What happens is it pulls up the video viewer thing and then the video viewer is blank for the entire time. I sent the video to my Android and I had absolutely no playback issues at all.


I can't use any website such as YouTube or Facebook without the computer freezing the website within a few seconds of uploading it. I tried accessing a website that I need for work that allows users to upload files froze for a little bit, but then started working again suddenly. Any website that doesn't use any special graphics (like Wikipedia) works just fine.


There is also a weird pattern as well. When the speaker symbol has a red x on it, video works just fine, but without sound. When the speaker function works, the problem with uploading websites or videos on my computer immediately happens.


I got an error code when I tried to access the video that I save with: File System Error (-2147219194)


I tried going through and looking at each different driver and trying to update them, but nothing is working. I even tried the audio troubleshooter and that only caused the red x to no videos working problem again.


Does anyone have any idea what's going on? I hope I don't have to completely redo the software on my machine.

Unable to view or download videos from websites

Hi Nelson,

Thank you for posting your question in Microsoft Community. We are glad to assist you.

To help you suggest steps to resolve the issue, I would appreciate if you could answer the following questions:

• Did you make any specific hardware or software changes prior to this issue?
• Is the issue specific to a particular website?

Internet Explorer 11 comes with the latest version of flash player pre-installed. So, the issue may rest with the particular page having compatibility issues with the Internet Explorer or there may be an issue with the flash
player configuration settings in Internet Explorer. Hence, I would suggest you to try the following diagnostic steps to get started in the correct direction and check if the issue persists:

Method 1:

I would suggest you to try opening the page in the compatibility view and check if you are able to view the video.

Note: The Reset Internet Explorer Settings feature might reset security settings or privacy settings that you added to the list of Trusted Sites. The Reset Internet Explorer
Settings feature might also reset parental control settings. We recommend that you note these sites before you use the Reset Internet Explorer Settings feature. Resetting Internet Explorer isn't reversible, and all previous settings are lost after reset.

Method 3:

As slightly mentioned in the Method 2, make sure that the necessary add-ons are enabled in Internet Explorer. To do this, follow these steps:

• Open Internet Explorer.
• Tap or click the Tools button
  
• In the Currently loaded add-ons list, click Run without Permissions.
• Look for the following add-ons in the list that's displayed. If any of these add-ons are listed, make sure the Status for each is listed as Enabled.
  

• Shockwave Active X Control
• Shockwave Flash Object
• Java Plug-in (may be multiple add-ons)
• QuickTime Plug-in (may be multiple add-ons)
• Windows Media Player

Having done the above steps, check if the websites are functioning properly.
