When I watch any streaming video, on any browser, the progress bar keeps popping up at random intervals, usually a just a few seconds. Help?!
Without any keystrokes, or touching the mouse, the progress bar keeps popping up all the time. Doesn't matter if it's full screen or not. Netflix, youtube, vimeo, everything does it the same.
I have tried clearing all history, cache, cookies from all browsers. I have removed all exceptions, extensions and add-ons. I have also updated anti-virus and scanned. It seems to be a Windows wide problem for me because it happens on chrome and IE also.
I have a lenovo ideapad p500 touch running Windows 10.
Please help!

Hi !
Try Firefox Safe Mode to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily turns off hardware acceleration, resets some settings, and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
- Click the menu button
, click Help 
and select Restart with Add-ons Disabled.
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
- On Windows: Hold the Shift key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
- On Mac: Hold the option key while starting Firefox.
- On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run firefox -safe-mode
(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".
If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme, or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps in the Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems article to find the cause.
To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.
When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.
