Anyone having problems watching videos on W10 ? Even on YouTube I'm getting intermittent playback issues. Also when I watch movies I'm getting issues where the video stops but the audio continues and then after a few seconds the video catches up. Very annoying.

Anyone have a fix for this or is it something a W10 update may fix in the future ?
 
Is this the rig in your sig or another? I have a similar Sandy Bridge rig which has no issues but my AMD E-350 APU based Net Top (8GB RAM & SSD) is having real issues. I noticed in Event Viewer Chrome kicks off 3 instances which hammers the CPU and causes stuttering, Edge / IE11 don't have this issue but I'm still having issues with streaming videos that I can't get to the bottom of.
 
Is hardware acceleration enabled in your relevant programs? Check to see if the GPU switches clocks when watching videos with something like GPU-Z or MSI Afterburner.

Yeah my Rig is my sig. Can't see any excessive CPU usage in Task Manager it's like 2% most of the time when watching YT. I don't use Chrome but I will try it to see if the problem occurs with that too.

I think it's enabled but can't see it in GPUZ so not sure.

It won't specifically be a tick box or anything like that, but I've noticed on my GPU it raises its clock speeds from its 2D clocks up to something else (usually not 3D clocks but somewhere in between). If it isn't doing that then perhaps it's using a software renderer for video playback. Mind you, with CPU at 2% it's likely hardware rendering is working fine and its some other bug.
