Google Drive won't play my videos after upgrading to windows 10

0

I finally got around to upgrading to windows 10 on my PCs. But now my videos that I had stored in Google Drive won't play. They're MP4. So then I tried using VLC media player because that was recommended to me, but either it doesn't work with that or i just can't figure out how to get it to work. Any ideas? Thanks!

Peace

Are you still able to play those videos on another computer not running Windows 10? What about if you copy a video to a flash drive, confirm it doesn't play on the Windows 10 computer from the flash drive, and try playing it from another computer? – Wildcard – 2018-07-22T06:51:28.170

The only videos that don't play are my videos I store in Google Drive. All other vids play no problem. But it's when I upgraded to Windows 10 that my vids in Drive stopped working. I still have not been able to get them to play. – Peace – 2018-07-22T07:35:09.740

Are you using the Windows App (store) version of VLC or the desktop application? I haven't tested this personally but that might make a difference. The App version doesn't play DVDs like the desktop version does so you may need to install both.

Thanks. I'll try out these options. It actually plays videos fine, it only does not play videos that I have stored in Google Drive anymore. – Peace – 2018-07-19T20:51:10.917

Ideas? I've got a couple:

  1. You didn't use the real VLC Media Player. Go to the official Website, and download it here.

  2. You didn't download the video correctly. Try re-downloading

  3. Try playing the video on a browser to see if its actually a system issue.

What version of windows are you using? I'll edit if I can think of anything else.
