How to resolve error 0xc00d5212 in Windows 10?

From the point of view of logic, it is easy to guess what the problem might be: drivers or codecs. They really often have problems, so it’s worth working with them. But first of all, you just need to install the VLC player. If the built-in players failed to play the video, this player can fix the situation. It has built-in codecs and performs much better than Windows Media Player in every way.

What should be done:

• Codec update . It is worth installing the K-Lite Codec Pack. This set of codecs is one of the most complete and widespread. Windows will install the necessary codecs for video playback.
• Working with drivers First, you need to update the display driver, it is often sinned with this error (through the “Device Manager”). Secondly, it is worth reinstalling the audio and video outputs. To do this, in the “Device Manager” right-click on the output and click “Delete”. The driver will be reinstalled automatically. Only in advance it is necessary to remove devices from them.
• Format video . You can repack the video to another container. It is enough to use the program for formatting and be patient. For example, you can use Wondershare Video Converter Ultimate. Formatting alone can take a long time and will heavily load the computer, so the option should be left for last.

Ultimately, there is another way to get around error 0xc00d5212 on Windows 10. It is worth uploading a video to YouTube, you can make it private so that no one sees it, and then download it to your device. When downloading, you can choose a different resolution and format, so the problem should not appear again.
