  1. Windows 10 screen flashes when playing Youtube video


    I am using a laptop running Windows 10 and I am having a problem. When I watch a Youtube video using the Chrome browser and my screen blinks black every time I go back to the video playing window. My device has two GPUs, one from Intel and one from Nvidia. Look forward to the help.

  3. KB3149135 and KB3163018 causing Youtube (or other videos) unable to play at full screen mode.

    To your questions:

    Before we assist further, I would like to ask you a few questions:


    • Which browser are you using to browse YouTube videos (Edge, Internet Explorer, other
      • All: Chrome, Edge, IE.

    • Did you check if similar issue persists on browsing YouTube videos on other browse
      • Yes, happens on all browsers.

    • Does the issue occur on playing videos saved in the system drives?
      • No, only online videos on browsers.
    I tried your suggestion twice to uninstall the drivers and reinstalling it again, didnt work.

    I also tried installing the update in clean boot, also didnt work.

    I am sure it is not a browser issue. Here is my debug:

    I went one step further.

    Upon installing the 2 updates, I uninstalled security update KB3163018 only, and i was able to play full screen mode again. BUT, problem is Windows keeps forcing me to install KB3163018 every time!!! And when this KB3163018 is installed, my youtube can't
    play full screen mode again. And I have to go programs feature to uninstall this update everyday! Please help address this issue. Thanks!

    Windows 10 screen flashes when playing Youtube video

    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
