Personal computers have become intrinsic to our lives and how we experience the world around us. <\/span><\/h2>\n

We work, we shop, we watch TV online- all of these activities are done with using a computer. Did you know that Netflix is responsible for a third of all internet traffic in the United States alone? So, what do you do when YouTube videos are not playing with Windows 10? Let\u2019s break down this issue and find out what can be wrong with your computer and why it\u2019s depriving you of the latest video content. Here are some tips \u2013 from the easiest fix to the most time-consuming one.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tip 1. <\/span><\/h3>\n

First, try using an alternate browser. You might want to disable any programs running in the background too.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tip 2. <\/span><\/h3>\n

If changing the browsers did not help, try applying some fixes to the browser settings.<\/span><\/p>\n

We will begin by stating that there are different kinds of fixes for different browsers. So, if your browser is outdated, it can cause the malfunction. Run an update and get the latest version of your browser. This usually happens automatically when you update your operating system, but sometimes the scheduling is off, and you might need to do it manually.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tip 3. <\/span><\/h3>\n

Flash Player not available.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is probably the most common issue whenever a video is not playing on your computer. So, instead of just staring at the black video where your favourite show should be playing, check the availability of Adobe Flash Player. It needs updating as many other parts of your computer. Unfortunately, there is no knowing when you need to update it, so do that as soon as you see the warning signs. Go to<\/span> the official Adobe site and apply the settings for your PC.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tip 4. <\/span><\/h3>\n

Install anti-malware software onto your computer. If you are using your device constantly, you might not notice when or what kind of malware made it into your system. Some low-security level internet connection is always a liability, so avoid connecting your computer to the internet on train stations or airports. We suggest using<\/span> Auslogics Anti-Malware<\/span><\/a>, it\u2019s easy to install, and it will check and eliminate all malicious software that can threaten the productivity of your operating system.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tip 5. <\/span><\/h3>\n

Clean all cache and cookies. If you haven\u2019t adjusted the settings on your browser accordingly, chances are, you have been hoarding tons of useless cookies and cache in your computer\u2019s depths. After cleaning them, make sure to tweak the settings to delete history on a daily basis and restart your browser.<\/span><\/p>\n

For Firefox browser, you\u2019ll need to follow these instructions:<\/span><\/p>\n
