Win10 falls creators update problems watching videos (2 Viewers)

[Aucherie]

For the record, after being updated to Windows 1709, my problem is that starting MP 1.12 crashes an Intel HD display 5000 adapter in a NUC PC. This results in a black screen that reverts to the desktop in a few seconds. The display adapter shows a "403 error" that can be cleared by restarting the PC. Other programs such as Kodi and VLC seem to work normally. I have tried other versions on the Intel driver and some of the suggestions for a fix in this thread and those on other forums with no success. I was going to update to MP 1.18, but it appears from this thread that this is not a solution. Since the problem seems to be fairly common, I think I will wait for the next Windows update to see if there is a fix. If not, I'll have to consider rolling back W10 or giving up on MP(gasp!).

I have a friend with the 'disable fullscreen...." option checked, he was getting the black screen but seems to be related to audio codec (DTS-HD etc.) with mpeg audio it works.
Still i think MS need to fix this

This options was removed, but i remember some guys doing it by a script in task scheduler

Cunning plan, thanks for the suggestion
I made a workaround using two tasks:
- one to run immediately on resume to close MP with TASKKILL /IM MediaPortal.exe
- one to run on resume but with a 1 second delay to run MP again.

Works well until MS fix it or a better solution is found.

BTW, to make a scheduled task run on resume from sleep, in the trigger choose "on an event", log "system", source "power-troubleshooter", event ID 1.

I have another workaround.
In the scheduled task from the RobNorthcott post I run an empty cmd file. I checked it several times and there was no black screen on resume

It's a pity but the problem still exists. Update didn't help (at least on my system)

Hi,
there is a new Intel Driver Update. Maybe it resolves the issue on Intel Platforms.

Download Intel® Graphics Driver for Windows* [15.60]

Same with me - no change.

I use Event Ghost to control MP, so my current workaround is to use EG to briefly display a text overlay on the screen - that wakes it up.

Interestingly just moving the mouse pointer around does not fix it, so the drawing operations for that must be done in a different way.

The update didn't solve the issue for me either. Is Microsoft even aware of this issue, or can we make them aware? Any Insiders here?
