Audio and video pauses automatically

Audio and video pause automatically (and sometimes pause and play) only when I use an internal (Youtube, google) or 3rd party software (windows media player, VLC, films &TVs ).

  1. It happens only when I am playing a video or audio.
  2. No virus (after scan)
  3. Since the spacebar key is usually associated with play & pause, I tried typing something in MS word. I did not see any auto space being generated between 2 letters. (tested for 5 mins)
  4. Autoplay and pause (sometimes just pause) occur maybe after 20 seconds. (it is random)
  5. I can actually see the virtual pause and play button is toggled. (no other error message is shown, it happens as if I am physically pressing the spacebar key.
  6. issues in Windows 10  

7. the window also very lag when it happening

  1. Driver issues? Which driver is it? Any suggestions or experiences? Please share your thoughts.

    I read earlier that someone fixed his issue by modifying his power scheme. It looks to me this might solve your problem as well. 

    I ran an update on my Sennheiser Epos headphone today and (for the eleventh time) hopes are up.

    Recently my laptop battery stopped working. My laptop was running on direct power. During this time this problem stopped occurring .

    Now i got my laptop battery replaced. And the problem also started again. Its so frustrating, for once I thought this problem was solved.

    I'm also still facing this issue, it's driving me crazy.

    I also have no Alexa product, but I do have a SennHeiser EPOS bluetooth headphone connected.

    EDIT: I came across this topic: https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/ThinkPad-X-Series-Laptops/ThinkPad-X1-Carbon-keeps-unpausing-playing-video-music/td-p/4383050?page=2 

    and decided to delete the Realtek driver... headphones still working and music ain't pausing no more. So I hope it stays this way.

    I don't own any alexa product, still facing the issue.

    Rapid Play-Pause

    Has anyone found a solution yet??? Its due to some windows update. Some updates solves the issue. Then the next updates brings it back!

    Microsoft! Pls fix it. This issue comes and goes, since July 2020.
