After turning off hardware acceleration (which I had to do due twitch issues) I noticed that videos on youtube have horizontal stripes visible on plain colors, the stripes disappear when I pause the video, and when I resize the video the stripes change in frequency and length. I attach a gif of resizing playing video of plain white also I attach a screen of video with many plain colors and almost the same frame paused. When I turn on hardware acceleration there is no such effect. I have also tried in private with safe mode and the problem persists. I have tried to playback youtube and I have downloaded a mp4 of the video from youtube and played it from disc, both cases had the issue visible.

Edit I added an image that shows the issue exageratedly apmplified (as for now, the added image is visible only when I edit the post, maybe it will be visible later).

You should check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in these Knowledge base articles:

I have latest drivers, and turning off hardware acceleration is when issue with stripes appear, not the other way around. When I let hardware acceleration on there is no stripes on videos, only when I turn it off. I will post the amplified screenshot here again as I see it did not appear in my original post after edit.

It's youtube, but the same thing happens when playing back downloaded mp4 video from youtube. I haven't noticed such issue with twitch though.

It's not youtube, since using hardware acceleration gets rid of the horizontal lines. I'm having this issue too.

I didn't mean that youtube is a culprit, I just answered what website I had problems with, I have tested it on youtube website, but mp4 files playback suffers from this issue as well. I haven't seen the issue on twitch though.
