Windows 10: Video image stuck on external screen under Windows 10

Hi, I'd really appreciate some help with a following problem.

I just changed my Toshiba laptop with Win 7 Pro to Asus ZenBook with Win 10 Pro 64 bits.

I have an external screen attached to the laptop via the HDMI port.

When I play a video on my new PC (either from Youtube or reading a local file with VLC) I loose the picture on my external screen, while all works perfectly fine on my laptop's screen. The voice keeps working fine on the external screen, but not the image, which gets stuck.

I didn't have any such issues with my previous laptop connected to the same screen, also via HDMI.
I tried to change the screen frequencies on both screens - 60 hertz on both screens and then 60 hertz on laptop's screen and 120 hertz on the external screen. The problem persisted.

Please help!

:)

 

stuck with Windows media problem

still stuck

Darren and Reign,
I could still use your help.

Things just aren't working and I have tried all I can think of plus your suggestions. I've done the WM codec installation. I have installed the encoder9. I have installed the community codec. I have tried to rollback the media player and reinstall various versions. Nothing has solved the problem.

Two points of interest however.
I installed windows XP video decoder check up utility. It lists about seven or eight different decoders...none of which are recommended as preferred MPEG 2 decoders. (I downloaded the same program to my vista drive and it lists as the first item a MPEG 2 decoder. It is checked in green but is still listed as "not recommend for the system a a preferred decoder." That line item decoder does not show up in the list on the XP drive).
Also, I downloaded Quicktime. When I attempted to play a .wma file on it the visual was brighter than it has been to this point. That was encouraging even though the image was still darkened more than it should be. Unfortunately, in an effort to download further codec components the visual seems to have fallen back to its extremely darkened screen and I can no longer make out the images.

I hope that information might trigger another thought from you as to another option that I might try.
Thanks, chirp.

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
