sudden "screen tearing"

[paparazzo79]

Hi guys.
I was using this tablet watching some youtube videos and out of nowhere picture started to get distorted.
I payed for this tablet 400 euros 2 years ago and really did not use it that much maybe just few charges on battery.
No issues at all until today.
I'm uploading video so you can see.
Does it mean my tablet is not usuable any more?
What could cause this issue?

Does this happen on other wi-fi networks as well, or only your home network?

Have you tried clearing the app cache/data for YouTube in the Settings>Apps menu?

Is Android System Webview completely up to date in the Play Store? If not, then make sure it's updated. If it is up to date and the problem is happening, then instead, try uninstalling its updates, since sometimes an update to ASW can cause glitches for certain devices.

I haven't install any update nor any software,each recent day I was watching videos without issues until today.
I did reboot tablet and so far picture looks normal.
Hope it won't come back.
Looks like a hardware graphics issue but how come of suddenly.
What is Android System Webview?
As I stated I don't do any updates on devices if they work okay,no need to.

Android System Webview is a system app that controls how non-browser apps access the web. It's an integral part of how Android works, and generally should be kept up to date through the Play Store for optimal experience. However, sometimes an update can be buggy.

It makes no difference it the tablet was working normally before it didn't. Update your apps in the Playstore as that is probably the problem.

Do you have the Google Play Store set to auto-update apps? Or do you go through every single app and decide whether or not to update? Most of the time, people either have the Play Store set to auto-update, or will just manually accept updates to apps, so it's very likely the app has been updated at some point.

Remember, I'm talking about app updates, not system updates.
