Hello! I understand the Hill app website keeps crashing on your Windows 10 computer because of those automatic videos that can't be disabled. Let's see if we can get this sorted out for you.
To start, could you tell me if you’ve tried any steps already, like clearing your browser cache or using a different browser? Also, are these crashes happening only on The Hill website or other sites too?
Meanwhile, here’s a step-by-step approach to try:
1. Disable Autoplay in Your Browser: Since you’re on a WebKit-based browser (like Safari or some versions of Edge), check if your browser settings allow you to disable video autoplay. Often, this setting is under Site Settings or Media autoplay. Turning this off can prevent videos from playing automatically.
2. Use Browser Extensions: If the browser doesn’t provide an easy autoplay block, consider installing extensions such as “Disable HTML5 Autoplay” or ad blockers that can block videos from auto-playing.
3. Clear Browser Cache and Cookies: Sometimes cached video data may cause crashes. Clear cache and cookies through your browser’s settings and restart the browser.
4. Update Your Browser: Ensure your browser is the latest version. Updates often fix crashes linked to video playback.
5. Try a Different Browser: Test if the problem appears in another browser like Chrome or Firefox. This can help isolate whether it’s a browser issue or something specific to your system.
6. Check System Resources: Automatic videos can be resource-intensive. Check your Task Manager to see if CPU or memory spikes when visiting the site. Closing other heavy applications might help.
7. Adjust Windows Multimedia Settings: If possible, under Windows’ settings, adjust “Background apps” or video playback settings for performance.
If these steps don’t resolve the crash, let me know, and we can explore advanced options such as troubleshooting graphics drivers or checking for conflicting software.
Would you like me to walk you through any of these steps? Are there any details you can provide about when the crashes happen or error messages?
