HDMI no Amazon Prime Video

Dell Lap Top G7 7790

Cannot see video when playing Amazon Prime Video when using HDMI.  Can hear the sound.  I can see the player, but no video.

Tried over two days, to include computer reset. 

Two weeks ago did not have any issues.

Can watch without issue YouTube Video.

Made sure all drivers have been updated and Microsoft updates are current.

Can see video on the laptop screen.

Hi Joe. I'm Greg, an installation specialist, 10 year Windows MVP, and Volunteer Guardian Moderator here to help you.

What player is it using for Amazon Prime? If it's a web player then try another browser. Make sure the browser's Flash is enabled and current by running this tool:

For Edge use these extra steps:

If this is Windows Media Player Download and run this WMP troubleshooter from Microsoft:

You may need to install WMP from Settings > Apps > Apps & Features > Optional Feature > Add a Feature, add WMP here.

Try reinstalling Windows Media Player: Type Features in Start Search, open Turn Windows Features On or Off, under Media Features, uncheck Windows Media Player, click OK. Restart PC, then reverse the process to check WMP, OK, restart again to reinstall it.

If it's not present then type Features in search box, choose Manage Optional Features, then if not in list to those to add choose Add a Feature to add it.

Try VLC Media Player from here: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/index.html

Try Movies & TV app which comes built-in Windows 10.

I hope this helps. Feel free to ask back any questions and let us know how it goes. I will keep working with you until it's resolved.
