GSOD playing a Netflix video

[NicolSD]

When I tried to play a Netflix video, I got the "new" GSOD (Green Screen of Death). The computer froze and no report was generated. I had to reset the computer after waiting for about 10 minutes for the report to be generated. Good point for Edge: when I launched the browser after rebooting, all Windows reopened simultaneously with no missing tab.

Edge Canary: 76.0.141.0

Windows 10: Build 18885.1001

I am reporting this event both here and in Windows' Feedback Hub just in case.

This issue has been corrected in more recent updates.

Something similar has happened to me aswell these last days. I get the "Blue screen of death" when changing episodes on netflix. The application that fails is called, "dxgmms2.sys".

I am on Version 79.0.309.54

@Jakob_Skytte_Thorsen Thanks for letting us know. If you haven't already, please try disabling the "use hardware acceleration when available" from edge://settings/system
