Windows 10 & Nvidia Flash Player full screen freezing issue

NdMk2o1o · Dec 10, 2015

I've got an issue when I'm watching streaming flash video in full screen the video freezes after a couple of minutes, the sound is still there as is the video when you exit out of full screen and enable it again until it happens again 2-3 minutes later, I've disabled hardware acceleration for a stream I have been watching tonight and for the last 15 mins it hasn't happened which leads me to think theres some kind of conflict going on between Windows 10, Flash and my NV drivers (running latest updated 2 days ago from GF experience) anyone have or had a similar issue?

No one else has had this problem on Win 10 with NV GPU & Flash streams? :confused:

Nope... everything is fine with my HW combo....

btw... you sure it is adobe flash? not HTML5... the only place where flash resides in my system is using m$ edge...

I have exactly the same problem. After 3 minutes, picture freezes, sound goes on. It appeared after win 10 reinstalation. Any help appreciated.

Flash player is getting out of date, HTML5 is the future but I guess it will take a long time before everything catches up, i read not long ago Facebook will start using HTML5 for youtube links now, finally :laugh:

No offence, I'm fully aware of HTML5 and it's capabilities and also of Flash's shortcomings, none the less a hell of a lot of sites still use Flash so that doesnt help with the topic in hand....

Only disabling HW acceleration worked for me.

It's been doing this for me too on my HTPC. The only way to keep watching the flash videos is to hit escape to minimize full screen when it freezes and the sound keeps going. The video restarts when the window goes smaller . If it freezes when the picture is already less than full screen, I have to reload the page. It is doing it on both Edge and internet explorer. I have not tried firefox on the HTPC yet to test, but will one of these days. GTX970 on the HTPC if it matters at all, though it's probably a software bug by either NVidia , Adobe , or MS. Thank goodness youtube uses HTML5!
