Screen Flickering while playing videos and touchpad issues

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand your query related to playing 4K videos on your PC and touchpad not responding properly. For further clarity on the issue, please respond to the questions below:

1. What is the exact model number of the PC?
   
2. Do you face the same flickering issue if you play a full HD video?
   

Concerning towards the screen flickering query, it could be possible that the PC screen doesn’t support 4K and that might be the reason you are facing the flickering. One of the things that I suggest is to try playing a 1080p (full HD) video and see
if the same issue occurs.



However, you can also try changing some settings in NVidia Control Panel and see if that helps.

1. Right click on Desktop and click on NVidia Control Panel
   
2. Now click on Display > Advanced Desktop color settings.
   
3. Now, set the content type to this display as
   Desktop Programs or Full Screen Video.
   
4. Click on Apply.
   

Regarding the touchpad issue, you may want to refer the article
Fix touchpad problems in Windows 10 and see if that helps.



Let us know how it goes.

video not playing

Hi,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

1. May I know, which video player you are using to play the video?
   
2. Are you able to play the video on any other computer?
   
3. Are you facing the issue with only specific video or with all the other videos?
   

This issue could also occur when the USB or SD card is corrupted when you have transferred the video.

Try the troubleshooting methods provided below to further narrow down the root cause of the issue.

Method 1: Try a different video player.

1. Try to use a different USB to transfer the video, if you are playing it on other computer or device.
   
2. I suggest you to try a different video player and check if it plays.
   
3. You can also check on different device or computer.
   

Step: Run Windows Media player troubleshooter.

1. Press Windows + R key on your keyboard together.
2. Copy and paste the below command and run each at a time and follow the onscreen instruction on the troubleshooter
3. msdt.exe -id WindowsMediaPlayerConfigurationDiagnostic
4. msdt.exe -id WindowsMediaPlayerLibraryDiagnostic
5. msdt.exe -id WindowsMediaPlayerDVDDiagnostic
6. Reboot the computer and check.

If you still face the issue, reply to this post with more information.

Hope it helps,

Screen flickers black, on and off only while watching a video

Hi Cheyanne,



Usually, flickering screen is caused by a software conflict or a corrupted display driver. Based on what you’ve mentioned, it happens while watching a video. Just to confirm, are you
playing the video online or is it a saved video on your computer? To troubleshoot this concern, I’d suggest that you follow the steps provided on this
article.

Feel free to respond for any results.
