Videos now often have black squares and areas

For the past month or so, often videos that I play have black squares and large black areas. This lasts a number of seconds, then suddenly the video is clear.

I think this is due to mpeg-style compression not sending an initial full frame, where subsequent frames are all diffs off the previous one. Hence if you don't have a clear start frame, you get squirrelly crap until the stream sends another full frame, or something like that.

Anyway, this is cross web-site, cross-player, cross everything. Some YouTube, some tumblr, various other web sites with videos, they all suffer this problem, and it all started at once.

Therefore this must have been a Windows 10 update.

Is anyone seeing this problem at all? I do not see it on my Android device, so it can't be my ISP intercepting and extra-compressing (crappily) video streams. I can think of half a dozen places such a systematic error could have cropped up, none of which I can do much about. I'm more interested that, if I am seeing it, many others should be. Yet a fix hasn't rolled out yet.
