Patch reliability is unclear. Unless you have an immediate, pressing need to install a specific patch, don't do it. |
I am using W10 with Chrome as my browser.
A couple of times in the last month, I have been using YouTube and gotten to a situation where when playing a video, the screen is black and the audio continues. This will happen both when viewing a video through YouTube or when viewing the video from Facebook.
Rebooting the system returns the operations to normal.
The black screen is most likely because of a failure to correctly interact with your video card driver (GPU accelerated rendering of video and sites).
Has Chrome been installed with Google’s own setup program then one of these will work. If you do not know try both, these days most computers are 64-bit.
Press the Windows+R to open a Run dialog box, copy or type this into the Open text box as seen here:
“C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\Chrome.exe” –disable-gpu
or this
“C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\Chrome.exe” –disable-gpu
(Fix is from this support request.)
