Windows 10: Windows 11 - Video player full screen tearing / mispositioning

First off, for me this is not a huge issue, the work-around for now is exiting full screen and re-entering it to position the full-screened video player properly, but its an interesting issue that I can't seem to find any info about, so I thought I would share - perhaps it will help someone, including myself.This is a minor issue I noticed when full-screening a video player; be it VLC, Youtube, Twitter, other websites' / media players' full-screen mode - to explain, here is a scenario:I opened Firefox to browse Twitter - I find a video, I put it on and I press F to full-screen the video player

Screen Tearing in Daum Pot Player

I'm using this player for years and really like it, but lately I'm experiencing screen tearing problem when playing videos. Any help will be appreciated.

 

Screen Tearing in Daum Pot Player

Hey tedy typically screen tearing on any Windows video player will be caused by an out of date video display driver, or perhaps the system's using a "Default Microsoft" display driver.

If your display driver is recent, another thing you can try fiddling with is the "refresh rate" for the monitor.

Video tearing tends to be most prevalent on older Windows XP or Windows 7 when the window desktop manager (WDM) is disabled (ie, "aero" themes turned off.)

If the video player software supports it you might also try toggling its "rendering system" between VMR7, VMR9, EVR, etc to see if it makes any difference.

 

Windows 10 Screen Tearing

Hi Birdman,



Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

We apologize for not being able to address your concern in a timely manner.

Before we proceed, I need more information to help you better.

1. What is the make and model of the central processing unit processor on your system?

2. What is the web browser, are you using to view the videos?

I suggest you to install the latest version of Flash player, Silverlight, and Java and check if issue persists.

For video issue, I suggest you to check if Adobe flash player is enabled. Refer to the article below:

This problem occurs because of a hardware limitation that is known as "tearing." Tearing is a video artifact in which the top portion of the screen shows a different frame of video than the bottom portion. This is more noticeable during scenes that contain
fast motion. There may be a noticeable horizontal line at the point where the two frames meet. Also, try to refer to these links below, for more information:
