Hello,

I've been having an issue for the past few days.
I often watch streaming series on Chrome and I've never had any problems.
For the past few days, I can no longer watch these videos on Chrome. I'm forced to use Microsoft Edge, which works fine.
The video starts, but I have no picture, only sound.
I tried uninstalling Chrome and reinstalling it
and I also did the same with Flash Player.
Nothing works and I would like to keep Chrome as my browser, I'm not a fan of Edge.

Please help me, thank you ;)

    I just found a solution after several days of research,
    I did this manipulation:
    • Close Chrome completely;
    • Unpin Chrome from your taskbar if it is pinned, so that it is on the desktop;
    • Right-click the icon and click on Properties;
    • Click on the Shortcuts tab;
    • In the "Target" field, add this exact text: [space]--disable-gpu"
    • The end of the text string in the "Target" field should now read: 
      ...chrome.exe" --disable-gpu
    • Double-click the desktop icon and Chrome should open correctly. If you want, you can pin this icon to the taskbar;
    • To solve the issue permanently, go to the Chrome menu > Settings > Show advanced settings;
    • In this menu, you need to uncheck "Use hardware acceleration when available".
    • Don't forget the space and the quotes at the end: [space]--disable-gpu


    My new question is:
    How come I suddenly have to disable hardware acceleration?

    Thank you
