    Videos Seemingly Randomly Freeze


    Sometimes when I'm watching a YouTube video, the video will just freeze along with the audio. When this happens, videos played on other platforms (like embedded in Discord) also do not work. My only solution right now is to restart the windows audio service or to do a complete PC restart. I've checked my audio and video card drivers and Windows says they're up to date. I've even uninstalled them both and restarted, and no change. I THINK I remember seeing this issue only occur when I tab out of YouTube and tab back in, if that helps - but I could be remembering wrong. Anyway, what can I do to fix this for good, without needing to restart every time it happens?

    Windows 10 freezes randomly


    I had already tried turning off fast startup, to no avail.
    Will look at the list you provided, thanks. Hard to do when computer freezes on the Windows loading screen though. *Biggrin
    I had tried that as well... no result.

    Windows 10 freezes randomly

    Hi,

    To better assist you regarding Windows 10 which freezes randomly, please provide the following:

    • Which is the last Windows update build you've applied to the computer?
    • Are there any third party applications that are currently installed?
    Furthermore, we suggest that you do a BIOS update to your computer. Here are the steps:

    • Check the motherboard manufacturer's website to find the specific model of your motherboard.
    • Go to the computer manufacturer's website.
    • Look for the computer model that you're using.
    • You should find any available BIOS update.

    Let us know how it goes.
