Green screen when playing videos is really one of the irritating issues you came across using Windows 11 and 10. This issue is reportedly being triggered when there is an issue with GPU rendering. This is often seen with the NVIDIA Graphics card.
Aren’t you frustrated why your videos are green? Having a green screen video background? Looking for a solution!
1. Disable GPU Rendering
Probably you are using Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and other chromium browsers.
Google Chrome users, fix Green screen when playing videos:
So the first thing is very basic, you need to open the Google Chrome browser and click the 3 dots icon from the top right corner, find the settings option, and click on it.
Scroll to the end of the page until you see the advanced button click on it to load the advanced setting. Now I can scroll to the bottom of this page you will find some settings under the system label. Thank you need to pick the option that we use hardware acceleration whenever available. Disabling this option will make sure that Google Chrome will not hardware acceleration to play a video.
Newer Chrome makes enabling this setting by going to settings > System > Use hardware acceleration. Toggle that if it’s turned on and off.
If that is the case that is causing your video to have a green screen it should go away when the next time you start Chrome browser. To check whether the issue is gone or still there close the Chrome Browser and start it, and play the video to check it for yourself.
If it is not the solution you were looking for and the Green Screen is still there when you play a video, you need to follow these exact instructions.

So it will probably show your NVIDIA graphics card, right-click on it and select enable, and if required update the driver by clicking the update driver software option. On the next window click on search automatically for the updated driver software or if you have the driver files on your computer you can also browse to that directory but it is best to let the window search and download and install the driver.
