How to Disable Flash Hardware Acceleration on Google Chrome

Unable to Disable Flash Hardware Acceleration on Google Chrome

Unable to click anything in flash settings

Use chrome://flags/ as workaround

Symptom: 
1. When you right click on any flash video to get settings menu up, the checkbox for hardware acceleration and any other flash menu tab cannot be clicked.
2. You have already tried my steps to disable Flash Hardware Acceleration at HERE but it still doesn't work.

Solution:
1. Open a new tab in Google Chrome.
2. Type in "chrome://flags/" on the URL address box.
3. Scroll down and look for "Disable hardware-accelerated video decode".
4. Click once to "Disable".
5. Click "Relaunch Now".
6. Once you've relaunched Google Chrome, all flash videos will start playing normally again.

Note:
I've previously disabled flash hardware acceleration on Google Chrome by right clicking flash settings. But somehow after Windows update and resetting Google Chrome browser, the flash checkbox menu no longer is clickable. This is the workaround that I could find to play all my flash videos normally once again on Google Chrome.

Facebook Flash Videos Showing Green Screen

Green Screen When Playing Any Flash Video




Symptom:
After updating to the latest flash player version, when  you play any flash video, you get a screen screen with no video but with audio.

Solution:
1. Right click on the flash video, select "Settings".
2. In settings's display tab, uncheck "Enable hardware acceleration".
3. Refresh your flash page, it should start playing.

Note:
You must have the latest graphics drivers installed on your computer too. I've tested this on all 3 browsers of mine: IE, Chrome, and FireFox. All worked fine after applying this setting.
If after performing this steps, it still doesn't work you may refer to Google Chrome's fix to it at HERE.
