Edge Chromium - Full screen video freezes computer
Hello
When watching videos in full screen, it is not allowing to close it, or return to normal screen. Especially when watching videos more than 20 mins. It also freezes my computer. Video continues in full screen but I can't even ALT+TAB or CTRL+ALT+DELETE. Only way to restore it is to restart computer. I have no issues with other browsers, even with normal Edge.
It has been going on for a long time, I even send feedback to Feedback Hub but nothing.
Best regards
- Try disabling "Load Media Router Component Extension" flag and then check if the problem still persists, if it does, then try disabling hardware acceleration. the point is to find out which part of the browser is causing that problem to happen, don't worry you can turn on HA any time.

I'm having issues with full screen video, too. Doesn't freeze the computer, but when I exit the full screen video, the browser chrome disappears, and is just all black (tab bar and address bar area). If I F11 in and out of full screen mode again, it fixes itself. I'm on version 80.0.355.1.
- Have you tried turning off HA?
Hi,
Which Edge insider channel and version are you using?
