Broken video playback on Netflix when hardware acceleration is on
For months now, when hardware acceleration is turned on, it's impossible to stream any content on Netflix which shows the D7703-1003 error code. If it's turned off, shows and movies will play as usual but not in 4K or Dolby Vision/Atmos quality because they need hardware acceleration in order to work. As suggested by Netflix website, I've already cleared cookies and browser data multiple times but nothing changes. I've also tried multiple up-to-date versions of Edge (Beta, Canary and the Stable channel version) but I get the same result. Every version after Edge Beta 149.0.4022 (which is the last version that worked for me without issues) has broken playback. I've already sent feedback through the Canary channel but it's an issue that seems it won't be resolved soon enough. Do any of you know a workaround/fix or have idea if it will get fixed considering it's been at least three months since I've encountered this issue?
What are the system requirements for hardware-accelerated BitLocker announced in ignite 2025?
Microsoft has recently announced hardware-accelerated Bitlocker (Ref. Link: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/blog/windows-itpro-blog/announcing-hardware-accelerated-bitlocker/4474609) I would like to know system requirements (Specifically Hardware) that supports this functionality. The article also says below "Coordinate with your suppliers and keep an eye on listings from us and other vendors as PCs become available on the market." But I am unable to find any link for the listing from Microsoft. Does it support all the devices that has TPM 2.0 or does it require any other hardware?
Chrome and Edge flickering/lagging on second monitor (MSI GE75, RTX 2070) - Firefox works fine
Hello. I have an issue with my MSI GE75 laptop running Windows 11 with an RTX 2070. When I use a second monitor Dell connected via HDMI, content inside Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome starts flickering and lagging. Firefox works fine on the same setup. The laptop is MSI GE75 with RTX 2070 and Intel iGPU. The second monitor is a Dell. Browsers affected are Edge and Chrome. Browser not affected is Firefox. I set Edge and Chrome to run on the RTX 2070 in Windows graphics settings. All drivers are updated. All settings are on maximum. The issue is flickering and micro freezes while scrolling or playing videos on the second monitor. This does not happen on the main laptop display. I already tried switching Edge and Chrome to High performance GPU RTX 2070 in Windows settings with no effect. I updated NVIDIA and Intel drivers with no effect. I disabled hardware acceleration in Edge and Chrome which reduces the issue but performance drops. I set both monitors to the same refresh rate 60 Hz but the problem persists. Since the problem only happens with Chromium based browsers and only on the second monitor, I suspect it could be related to how Microsoft rendering pipeline interacts with Chromium hardware acceleration. Firefox which uses a different rendering backend works fine. My questions are: Why does this only happen with Chromium based browsers but not Firefox? Is this related to how Windows and Chromium handle GPU acceleration on a second monitor? Is there a known fix or workaround to make Edge and Chrome work properly on the second monitor? Thank you in advance for any advice.
