Sometimes, bugs can appear on your system when you have not updated your PC for a long time. The video not playing on the laptop error may result from one such bug.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To ensure that you are working on the best possible environment for your PC. simply &#8211;\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 1 &#8211; Press Windows + I to open System Settings.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 2 &#8211; In System Settings, look for Windows Update in the Left Hand Panel of Your Screen. <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-14978 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.systweak.com\/content\/wp\/bg_systweak_com\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Windows-Update-selected-in-system-settings.png\" alt=\"Windows Update selected in system settings\" width=\"392\" height=\"652\" sizes=\"(max-width: 392px) 100vw, 392px\" \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 3 &#8211; Click on Windows Update &amp; You Will find Multiple Options.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 4 &#8211; One of the options is to check for updates.

It should now run smoothly.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Fix #2 &#8211; Try Using a Different Media Player<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If the error persists after updating your system, chances are that the issue lies in the media player. There are multiple media players available for Windows that you can try out. There are good chances that the media player you are trying to use is outdated or has bugs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Get Help here &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.systweak.com\/blogs\/how-to-update-outdated-drivers-in-windows\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">How to Update Outdated Drivers in Windows 11, 10, 8, 7<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The best way to know is to try out a different media player. This will give you an idea about whether the issue lies in the media file or the media player.

Mostly it happens when your graphic card driver is outdated. Updating it and other drivers that are not up to date can help rectify the video not playing on Windows error easily.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But updating a driver using the traditional ways is boring. Finding the updated driver option after navigating through multiple layers of the Device Manager and driver list takes a lot of effort. The error may occur again when the driver needs an update, as no one manually updates the drivers every ten days or so.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So what should you do? Well, the best way to handle the driver needs of your PC is by using Advanced Driver Updater.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here\u2019s how the tool works &#8211;\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Step 1<\/strong> &#8211; Download the tool from the link below.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"download_buttons_section\"><p style=\"text-align: justify;display:none;\" class=\"downloadnow-btn-show os-windows\" data-eventsource=\"DownloadNow_post_button\"><a data-param=\"systweakblog,wp_json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14973,pos-1,135\" data-operation=\"iframe\" class=\"ds-download-link \" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.systweak.com\/blogs\/download-product\/adu\/w\/14973\/1\" onclick=\"gtag('event', 'ProductDownloadSysBlog', { 'event_label' :'fix-videos-not-playing-error', 'event_category':'windows-1' });\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/bg.systweak.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/plugins\/download-button-shortcode-new\/images\/window_btn.png\" alt=\"download\" width=\"250\" height=\"65\"><\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Step 2<\/strong> &#8211; Install the tool using the downloaded setup file.
