Screen mirroring

[Reaper59]

For a few years I use to use my tv and a duplicate screen for when watching tv. But now for some reason whenever I try to load up and kind of streaming video, live or not it shows up on my PC but on my TV it’s just static. Only started happening very recently.
Was wondering how to solve this.
My pc is a Dell Inspiron all in 1 and my TV is a Sony Bravia 4K.

On your PC, hit Windows + P, and in the pop-up window hit Extend - what happens?

The screen gets extended until I try to run any kind of video on the second screen (either from duplicate extend and 2nd screen only) then it goes all fuzzy and static. Like the white noise screen.

So up until you start playing a video on the second screen, it all works OK, like emails, File Explorer, your browser, all shows on there correctly?

Have you tried removing the current graphics driver and reinstalling?
If not, use DDU, from here; Download Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) Official | Wagnardsoft
That will uninstall all traces of the current driver.

Then go to the manufactures website of your graphics card and get the latest version.
