Short video freezes when starting playing video W10 Nvidia

You should try clean install Windows.
Clean Install Windows 10

Looks like the new Intel UHD Graphics 630 driver that got installed with the 1809 windows update was the culprit.

I've used this: windows - Troubleshoot High CPU usage by the process - Super User to detect the problem with igdkmd64.sys.

So I've installed a much older version of the driver - a version close to the version that was previously on my computer.
I've used this one, the last non-DCH: Download Intel® Graphics Driver for Windows* [15.47] available from
Downloads for Intel® HD Graphics 630

I'll see what happens next and hope the problem doesn't return. I'd really prefer not reinstalling windows and in this case it most probably wouldn't even help.
