Windows 10: Display Turns Off After Playing Video - Help

Hi guys. I'm using firefox latest version 64 bit. I've never had this problem before but everytime I play a video the display turns off after 2 minutes. The 2 minutes is the time I assigned for the display to turn off in power settings which was set a long time ago. Like I said, this has never happened before today. Btw, I set it to turn off the display to 'never' and the same ting happens. How do I fix this?

Online video doesn't display

Hi,

Thank you for posting on Microsoft Communities.

I suggest you to use Microsoft Edge browser to play online videos.

If you still face issues, I suggest you to follow the steps:

• Open Microsoft Edge browser and click on the
  Hub icon (three horizontal lines at top bar) and then click on
  Settings.
• Now, click on View advanced settings.
• Make sure you turn ON the option that says "Use Adobe Flash Player" and check with the issue.

Hope it helps.

 

Troubleshooting help: YouTube videos won't play on Windows 10 PC

I just got a new Windows 10 PC & I'm finding that it won't play YouTube videos. Specifically YouTube. In the video area the loading indicator circles indefinitely and I see this message...

Additional info & steps I've tried...

• Netflix plays flawlessly
  
• Other Macs, PCs, iOS & Android devices on the same network play YouTube videos no problem
  
• I restarted the machine
  
• Restarted the cable modem
  
• The machine can do other Internet stuff fine -- browse websites, email, etc.
  
• I cleared the browser cache & browsing data
  
• I tried a different browser (I tried Chrome & MS Edge)
  
• I looked under "Windows Defender Security Center > App & browser control" but I don't see anything there about blocking videos.
  
• Turned off ad blocker
  
• Tried connecting via Ethernet and wi-fi
  
• No peripherals connected to the machine
  

System info

Gigabyte Aero 15x
Windows 10 Pro

Version 1803

Installed on 8/14/2018

OS build 17134.228

Any help, advice, or further troubleshooting steps would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

 

Videos not playing

Hi,

I am also having an issue with my videos not playing on any browser for windows 10. So I followed the steps that you listed for the video option but there is
no folder called Display Drivers. There are folders called display adapters and disk drivers however. Maybe I should uninstall one of those?

Thanks

Zach
