  1. Video freezing


    When I watch a video, sometimes it just randomly freezes for a couple frames but the audio keeps playing and then the video catches up with the audio. How do I fix this?

    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?
