    Can't watch videos on Win 10

    Hi,

    Please assist me with the following information related to this issue:

    • Which web browser are you using to watch online videos?
    • Do you receive any error message?
    • What is the make and model of the computer?
    If you are using Internet Explorer to watch online videos, I suggest you to
    follow the steps mentioned in the following link and check:Why won't videos play in Internet Explorer?

    Note: The above mentioned article contains steps to reset IE. Resetting Internet Explorer's settings is not reversible. After a reset, all previous settings in IE are lost and cannot
    be recovered.

    Please reply us with the required information along with the status of the issue to assist you further.

    Why am I seeing the Windows taskbar while watching videos?

    Video on Facebook Watch

    I have noticed the problem is not just on Facebook watch, its with other videos on Facebook also.

    I did the trouble shooter as you instructed, and Facebook is not listed as a "windows store" app. Not sure what the next step would be.
