We have shortlisted some of the other commonly used methods and troubleshooting ways for repairing the slow-motion videos play. Check them out below.

1 Update Your Computer Operating System

One of the common reasons for slow-motion videos is the outdated version of the OS and the firmware. So, updating your computer OS system might help in resolving the issue.

Steps to update the OS of the system.

Step 1: On your system go to Settings> Update & Security> Windows Update.

Step 2: Tap on the Check for Updates option to look for the available updates.

Step 3: Download the update and restart your system to install it. 

2 Check the Internet Connection 

If your internet connection is slow or poor, the videos might buffer, play in slow motion or be sluggish while streaming online videos. So here, you need to check your internet speed and fix it. Most video playback and sharing sites require you to have a minimum internet speed for hassle-free video watching. So, ensure that the speed of your connection is as per the site’s minimum requirements. 

There are several speed checker tools available to check the internet speed. If any issues are found, contact your service provider. Additionally, you can also use an Ethernet cable in place for WiFi for increased speed.

3 Clean Browsing History on Your Computer

Browsing history, cookies, and temporary files might lead to making your system slow and thus result in videos playing in slow motion and several other issues. So, cleaning the browsing history is an excellent way to overall improve the performance of your system. 

Steps to clean browsing history on your system

Step 1: On your system open Control Panel > Network and Internet.

Step 2: Next, go to Internet Options and tap on the Delete browsing history and cookies option. 

Step 3: Next, move to the General tab, and then at the Browsing history section choose to Delete browsing history on exit and then click on the OK button. 

4 Disable All Applications on Your Computer

When too many applications, programs, and tasks run in the background of your system, it will slow down the overall performance of your system and might result in several issues including slow-motion videos. So closing all the apps and programs will help in the proper playing of the videos. 

Steps to disable apps

Step 1: Open Task Manager by clicking on Ctrl +Alt+ Del at the same time.

Step 2: Now, select the app that you wish to close and click on the End task option. 

5 Turn Off Hardware Acceleration 

When the hardware settings of the system are not sufficient to play the videos, it might result in issues like slow-motion videos. So to fix this, you need to disable hardware acceleration ( if it is enabled) so that the hardware resources can be chosen by the web-based apps instead of using the default settings.

Steps to turn off hardware acceleration

Step 1: On your system, open Control Panel > Large Icons View

Step 2: Tap on Display > Change Display Settings.

Step 3: Next, tap on the Advanced Settings option and if the Troubleshooting tab appears, it means that hardware acceleration is supported by the graphics and the video card.
