Hardware Acceleration yes or no?

I have a new Windows 10 Chuwi X10 Tablet PC (2-in-1) which has higher specification than my previous machine and in most respects is working well, but I am unexpectedly getting a major problem with streaming, for example YouTube videos, Frequently it is unusable because the display changes to a multi-coloured curtain of slanted stripes. I have tried changing the resolution to a variety of lower settings (as well as cleaning RAM and stopping other programs from running).
I had no success with this. From way back I recall some advice about Hardware Acceleration being set to 'on' or 'off' but what I have now read I have not understood. How do I tell if HA is 'off' or 'on' with my machine and with Opera, which should it be (what I have read seems self-contradictory), and how do I do it?
Clarification regarding this would be welcome, plus any other suggestions.

Goto the URL
opera://gputo tell if hardware acceleration is on or off for various things. Look at "Video decode" for example. If it's on and you have problems, you can goto the URLopera://flags/#disable-accelerated-video-decodeto disable hardware-accelerated video decode (make sure to restart Opera afterwards) to see if it helps. If it doesn't, you can goto the URLopera://settings/systemand disable hardware acceleration for all things.However, before you disable hardware-accelerated video decode or hardware acceleration in general, goto the URL
opera://flags/#use-angleand try different values for the flag (restarting each time).At any time, you can goto
opera://gputo check the status of hardware acceleration etc. -

@burnout426 The problem appears to be resolved, in both Opera and EDGE, by switching off Hardware Acceleration. It may seem odd but I have a vague memory of this when I got my previous PC. Other fixes failed. Video streaming is now working OK
