It seem they quit asking the question in SO and move to our QA

Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?

Today I'm on my home laptop running Windows 10 Anniversary edition.
On Edge & Chrome, I cannot watch a preview video on Udemy.
I was just watching these the other day. Here's an example, would you mind trying?
Basic electronics for Arduino Makers | Udemy[^]
You'll see a little video area and a "Preview this course" text and a play button. On both Edge and Chrome I see a brief flicker and then nothing as the window tries to pop up.
Now, I just tried to click the filter buttons on CodeProject.com ([All], [Android], etc) and they will not work either. In both of those browsers. This is very odd.
Anyone else seeing this?
In the mean time I'll reboot and see what happens.
Then I'll try other browsers too.
Thanks for any input.
EDIT 1
Just noticed when I went to restart there seems to be an update wanting to install. I'll install and see what happens.
Edit 2
I just installed FireFox and went to the udemy site and I can play the video.
The site looks drastically different in FireFox though.
And the filters on the codeProject front page still do not work.
Are those broken on the site? Is it the site and not just me?
I've used those in the past.
(posted using FireFox)
Edit 3
Just noticed that at the top of the firfox page (on udemy.com) there is a little note that "firefox has prevented the outdated plugin "Adobe Flash" from running on https://www.udemy.com".
Hmm... maybe this is all a Flash related issue?
Edit 4
Thanks to all who responded.
It seems as if the two issues I experienced were both related to the sites themselves.
1. CodeProject's main page filter menus ([All] [Android] [C#] [C++] do not seem to currently work -- do not seem to filter and when you click them they are never set as selected.
2. the udemy video seemed to be failing from the source.

IE11: Video not shown at all

Thanks for trying. 
I installed the update and went back and still cannot play the video.
Also, those "filters" on the codeproject home page [all], [Android], [c#], [c++] do not work.
This is very odd.

Using Edge - the CP filters seem to do something once in a while - but behaviour undefined - e.g. clicking on SQL might get you C#. If you're lucky.
ooo... wait - I just clicked Mobile and got Mobile... I think... mmm... hamsters... roulette wheel... hmmm...
Most odd.

Okay, so maybe that is the site and not me.
Thanks for chiming in.

Just checked the filters on CP home page with IE11. Either they don't work, or I don't know what I'm doing...probably the latter. Clicking any filter shows the same content and doesn't seem to be 'remembered' when going back to the home page. All is always selected...maybe that's just the way it works???

Thanks for trying.
That is not the way it works actually, because I used that functionality in the past few weeks and it worked.
I am an Android dev and normally I can click the Android one and it will stick there and show only most current Android articles until I click another. it will stick there over browser sessions normally which is nice if you read a particular type of article.
Thanks,

I get the same results as you. Running Edge.  The video doesn't work for me either.

Thanks for replying. Okay, I guess there is something odd going on with that site.
I was just having all of these issues and couldn't figure out what was going on.
you know what else? I went into my wife's computer and it is knocked off the Internet again and it says, "Please activate Win10".
I've documented this issue here at: The Lounge: Ubuntu To The Rescue[^]

Maybe try again to activate her Windows, using the Windows 7 key???

I just activated her machine successfully again using the Win 7 product key.
It had been activated for a week and running fine.
Well, I believe the M$ registration process gets lonely and needs some attention and so it reaches out and asks me to visit every week.

Edge and Chrome both work for me!

Thanks for trying. They still don't work on my machine on :
Chrome : Version 55.0.2883.87 m
or Edge 38.14393.0.0
Works on firefox. Craziness.
I've rebooted again too.

Chrome 55.0.2883.87 m (64-bit): Nothing at all.
IE 11.162.10586.0: Nothing at all

Yesterday the video didn't work for me, but today it's working fine. Must have been an issue on their website that they fixed since yesterday.

Thanks very much for trying and posting.
I also updated the original post with an edit so others would know.

the home page tabs on codeproject.com do not show the one that I choose neither, it seems to lock on a random one. I also tried it on Firefox, using different VPN (locations), different browser locations, etc.

Thanks for commenting.
I agree, that problem looks like a bug on CP site.
It worked a few weeks ago.
i've also tried with numerous browsers.

Did you report this? I'm sure Chris would like to know of these problems.
