Windows 10: Video in windows 10 won't play

Running windows 10, a few days ago local videos stopped working. I have at this point reinstalled my chipset/amd 4in1 drivers, video drivers, the K-Lite Codec pack and VLC. I have tried WITHOUT the K-Lite pack at all, I have tried OTHER players beside VLC including the player included with K-Lite, windows Media Player, something called PotPlayer and VLC. I have turned on and off hardware acceleration multiple times, rebooted, etc...... The ONLY videos that will play are those on youtube and netflix or other streaming sources. I do not get any errors, simply.... nothing plays. MP4, MKV, VID.... nothing. Anyone have any recommendations?

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<br>
Version 1803<br>
Installed on 8/14/2018<br>
OS build 17134.228

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

 

Video Lag

Hi John,

The latency in playing videos might have been caused by network interruption, or an incompatible graphics driver. For us to isolate the issue, we would like to ask these questions:

• Does the issue happens when playing videos online or you have experienced the latency when playing videos that are saved on your drive too?
• Which browser are you using?
  
• Have you made any recent changes to your system settings prior to this issue?
• Have you encountered any network issues?
• What troubleshooting steps have you done so far?

In the meantime, we suggest that you use Microsoft Edge and
Internet Explorer to check if the issue persists. If the issue happens in Internet Explorer, please use this article as your reference:

Videos won’t play in Internet Explorer.

We look forward for your response.
