Hi guys I really need some help.

I have been running windows 10 for a while with no issues however suddenly I have lost the ability to play videos, I have a few films downloaded that I watched 2 days ago so this is a recent issue.

I have no available updates, flash is up to date, so is my AMD Catalyst Driver.

When I try to watch something I can hear the audio fine but there is no video, if I restart my system and quickly open the video it works but if I skip it ahead a bit it goes black and then no videos work until I restart again.

Facebook videos have the same issue, can hear audio but no video.

An update was installed yesterday however I uninstalled it, restarted and the videos still did not work.

Can somebody help please?
Thanks

EDIT

Ok I am an idiot, I had to disable hardware acceleration on both VLC Media Player and my browser and now everything works... wonder what changed to make me have to disable them though
