  1. Videos freezing


    Hi guys,

    I've downloaded some TV shows to watch on my PC, they freeze like every now and then continue playing.

    I've had no issues on streaming sites but only with offline shows which is strange as they don't require WiFi.

    I'd appreciate it if anyone could help me, thank you

    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?
