Issue: Status access violation when watching YouTube videos both normal and live. This also included Facebook live videos. I even discovered that merely having the Youtube video paused but the tab open would after some time (could be a few seconds to a few minutes) the status access violation would pop up.
I believe I have found a resolution after countless hours of research and suffering. At this point, I have tried nearly all of the common fixes that pop up online concerning fixing this issue on Edge including some of the more unorthodox fixes like disabling hardware acceleration in Edge, creating a new profile, trying the BETA version of Edge, updating bios, running scannow in command prompt, and updating RAM firmware.
What I did to fix the issue was disable XMP in my bios and then manually select the RAM clock speed while leaving everything else in auto. I am using an ASUS motherboard. I checked the manual clock speed I set in bios using Task Manager, clicking on performance and then memory just to verify that I am still using the faster clock speed. It certainly seems in my case that XMP was the culprit for whatever reason. Maybe Microsoft can look into it and introduce a fix.
So far, it has been a few hours of watching videos on YouTube and I have not received another status access violation. Hopefully, if you are suffering from this issue this fixes your problem. Happy streaming!
My setup:
Intel 13900K CPU
Corsair Dominator Platinum DDR5 16GB 5600mhz RAM (x4)
ASUS TUF Gaming NVIDIA 4090 GPU
ASUS ROG STRIX Z790-E Gaming Wifi Motherboard
Windows 11
While it's easy to say it's the processer. It's not the processors' fault. It's the way windows 11 interacts with the hardware.
I have a dell g17 with RTX4070 i9 13900HX 64GB ram [non dell]. I forcefully wiped and downgraded my OS to windows 10 and the issue was gone 600 hours of chrome/edge usage no issue. Upgraded to windows 11 issue was back in 2 days.
So the only really fix is move back to 10 or move back to win 11 21h2 [my issue started after I moved to 22h2 and persisted in 23h2].
@Microsoft you should be publishing the root cause of this error instead of the 30 generic useless steps give to FIX the issue
