Music and video freezing all the time laptop!

 

Have you ever notice that when you play videos and music on your laptop, they freeze, stop or are choppy?

My guess is that you have set your power usage too low or by default it is set too low. You would thus have to change your power scheme from “power saver” to “balanced”.

I did it and after that all music and videos played just fine. So if you can do it yourself then you can stop reading.

There are two way for you to do this.

The first method is through the taskbar and the second one is through the control panel.

1. The taskbar

In your taskbar at the right there is the power icon as you can see in fig 1 below.

Now you click on the icon and this window will appear. You can now choose what power plan you want. If you are playing music and videos you choose balanced but if you are doing less power-hungry stuff such as writing letters of surfing the web you can choose power saver.

2. Control panel

If you cannot do the method 1 then open your control panel and then click on “power plans”.

This window will open.

You can now choose what power plans you want.

Happy listening and watching
