About this tag
Video issues on Windows can manifest as flickering, desynchronized audio and video, webcam flickering during calls, playback errors with specific file formats, or green screen artifacts. Common causes include driver problems, hardware acceleration conflicts, codec issues, or system updates. Troubleshooting steps often involve updating or rolling back graphics drivers, disabling hardware acceleration in apps like Chrome or Zoom, reinstalling media codecs, and checking for Windows updates. Users also report fan noise during video playback after updates, suggesting power or performance changes. For persistent problems, isolating hardware components like RAM or GPU may help identify root causes.
