Video routinely freezes during playback under Windows 10
When Windows 10 came out, I upgraded to it as soon as it was allowable.
I had the following issue immediately after upgrading:
* Every 60 seconds the video of any movie (mkv/mp4/avi) seems to freeze for 1-2 secs, but the audio continues just fine while the video then skips to keep up. It actually looks as if I have paused the video, but continued the audio. The movies/tv shows do not crash and will play till the end.
The tested files work on all other PC's/movie boxes/TV's without any problems, NO other device plays up.
I have tried playing the files off of the network, and off of the HDD, no difference, still has the same issue every 60 secs.
To try to fix this issue, I formatted the HDD, fresh loaded win 8.1 and then upgraded to Win10. I have tried the Win10 inbuilt players, and the 32bit and 64bit of VLC. I have made sure that the HDD/RAM etc are not hitting 100% in the background (turned off prefetch/superfetch). I used windows inbuilt function to check for RAM errors [none found]. I have made sure that I have the latest VIDEO driver. Checked to make sure there are no unknown devices. Tried turning off the inbuilt FN devices (wireless/pad etc). Nothing makes any difference.
The software I have installed is: DirectX9 / WinRAR / WinZip / VLC / FireFox / Flashplayer (firefox) / Java / Primo PDF / Daemon Tools 10 (to load ISO files) / paint.net / notepad ++ / office 2013 / K-Lite v1137 (tested movies/tv shows before loading K-Lite and problems did exist)... All these programs are loaded on my neighbours laptop as well (as I upgraded it for her) and it plays everything fine even though she has a cheap ASUS that seems to take double the time of my laptop to do anything.
I would sell it, but I need it for studies, and my young daughter likes to watch videos and play minecraft on it (NOT loaded back on since the fresh install). So if I sold this crap, I probably could not afford another decent one that will do what we need.
Any help appreciated.
