Title: Numerous Videos Will Not Play On Lenovo Win 10 Laptop.
Post by: Absolute Novice on July 29, 2018, 09:25:48 AM

Adobe is up to date but a large amount of videos will not play on Lenovo 310 Win 10 laptop.
Driver is Intel HD Graphics 520.
It is supposed to be the most up to date available, although there is a little red spot beside it.
Have no idea how to replace it if necessary.

Sounds like a driver issue...where did you get them from ?

Sorry, I am not sure that I understand the question.
Drivers are listed in Device Manager and came installed.
There are indications that it could be a video loading issue.

Sounds like a video codec issue to me.  The default programs on windows aren't built to play all kinds of video files.  I strongly recommend downloading VLC https://www.videolan.org/vlc/index.html and watching your videos on that.  It comes with pretty much every codec you might need which allows you to watch all the major video file types and most obscure ones.

Seems to be working better.
Thanks.
