It Might Be Something Serious!"},"content":{"rendered":"<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">High-quality videos have become a common thing today. Gone are the days when 720p and 1080p were the industry standards for high-definition video. Today everyone has moved to 4K as it offers a clear viewing experience. However, people using old PCs have reported that their PC cannot play 4K videos.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That may happen because video formats lower than 4K require minimum screen resolution and GPU intervention, while 4K requires a lot of resources. When you try to load a heavy video file, the task is no longer based on processing power as it shifts onto the GPU.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is also why many have complained about being unable to play 4K videos or the screen going black when trying to run a 4K file. While users believe it is OK for your PC&#8217;s screen to go black, it might be serious as it might hamper the GPU.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are also having a similar experience, do not worry. This post has some amazing fixes you can use to resolve your 4K video errors.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\">How to Fix Unable to Play 4K Errors? Ways that Work!<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your PC\u2019s inability to play a 4K video is not just an ordinary problem. There\u2019s nothing simple or ordinary about the problem. The issue might affect the PC\u2019s performance and crucial resources like the GPU and processor.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To fix the 4K errors on your PC, here are some fixes that may help &#8211;\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Fix #1 &#8211; Limit Background Processes<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you are facing issues while running a 4K video, you should first ensure you have limited background applications. As 4K is a resource-intensive format, it <a href=\"https:\/\/www.systweak.com\/blogs\/how-to-free-up-space-in-windows\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">requires much memory to run smoothly on a PC<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When your PC cannot provide the required resources, the video player cannot handle your request. Hence you are unable to play 4K videos.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are the steps to help you out in such situations &#8211;\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 1 &#8211; Press Ctrl+Shift+Esc to bring up the Task Manager.<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 2 &#8211; You need at least 30-40% RAM to run a 4K video smoothly. So click on memory to sort the available processes based on how much memory they are taking.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10648 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/bg.systweak.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/task-manager-1.jpg\" alt=\"task manager\" width=\"957\" height=\"723\" srcset=\"http:\/\/143.244.153.71\/systweakblogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/task-manager-1.jpg 957w, http:\/\/143.244.153.71\/systweakblogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/task-manager-1-300x227.jpg 300w, http:\/\/143.244.153.71\/systweakblogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/task-manager-1-768x580.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 957px) 100vw, 957px\" \/><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 3 &#8211; Select heavy applications that are useless now and shut them down using the end task option.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do you see what you did? You freed up some valuable memory to help your PC run 4K videos smoothly.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Fix #2 &#8211; Ensure Support for 4K Codec<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While running a video, users often forget an important aspect of using a media player, i.e., the support for multiple formats. At the end of the day, 4K is just another codec format that requires an environment to run smoothly.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your PC has enough memory to process a 4K video, but the media player you are using cannot process the file, it may not support the format. Before trying to play a 4K video, confirm whether the media player, you are using supports 4K or not.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Fix #3 &#8211; Check Your PC\u2019s Performance Mode<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This fix can be helpful, especially if you use Windows 11 on a laptop. The latest Windows operating system offers multiple modes of processing. Sometimes the processing of 4K videos becomes extremely heavy for a moderate mode, hence you may need to switch to performance mode.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here\u2019s how you do it &#8211;\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 1 &#8211; Press Windows + I on your PC to open System Settings.<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 2 &#8211; In System Setting, look for Power &amp; Battery.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 3 &#8211; After you have opened it, find the Power Mode Menu, and change it to best performance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-15628 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/bg.systweak.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Change-Power-Mode-to-best-performance.jpg\" alt=\"Change Power Mode to best performance\" width=\"1278\" height=\"335\" srcset=\"http:\/\/143.244.153.71\/systweakblogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Change-Power-Mode-to-best-performance.jpg 1278w, http:\/\/143.244.153.71\/systweakblogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Change-Power-Mode-to-best-performance-300x79.jpg 300w, http:\/\/143.244.153.71\/systweakblogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Change-Power-Mode-to-best-performance-1024x268.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/143.244.153.71\/systweakblogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Change-Power-Mode-to-best-performance-768x201.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1278px) 100vw, 1278px\" \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 4 &#8211; Save your changes and return to the 4K file you want to play.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Fix #4 &#8211; Check Your GPU Performance<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After changing your PC\u2019s performance mode, it is time to look for GPU performance.
