Stuttering streaming video playback in Edge and Internet Explorer
Hello, I posted this over in the Microsoft community, but nothing I haven't tried has been suggested, so I am hoping someone here might have a solution.
At some point in the past several months, Edge stopped being able to play streaming videos smoothly. The audio if fine but the video is very slow and choppy. Internet Explorer has the same problem, but Chrome, Firefox and Pale Moon all play videos just fine. It doesn't matter which source, it happens on You Tube, Netflix, Amazon, etc...
I can play local and NAS resident video files with MS Media Player and VLC, as well as DVD and Blue Ray disks with no problem either.
My system is a Dell Precision M6700 mobile workstation, i7-3840QM CPU, Nvidia Quadro K4000m Graphics card, 32GB memory and running Windows 10 Pro Fall Creators 10.0.16299.
I have tried repairing and resetting Edge, and have also reinstalled by deleting the package from the %appdata% local directory and using the following command;
Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers -Name Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml" -Verbose}
So far nothing has helped, I even tried selecting "Use software rendering instead of GPU rendering" in the Internet Properties control panel. And, my Nvidia driver is the most recent stable version.
I haven't used Edge or IE all that much which is why I don't know when this all started. I have been running Windows 10 on this system for a couple of years.
I am at a loss and have run out of ideas. Has anyone else had this problem?
Thanks,
Peter
