The videos in Edge keep stopping and restarting. Some go for 18 seconds, other go almost all the way to the end then start over. I have done all the so called "fixes" I have found on the internet, and nothing works. The problem only happens when watching videos in Edge home page. Videos in Facebook and others work fine.

    Download the latest Edge BETA browser. For me this solved two problems. One was the video stop and starting and the other was the side bar width.

    And microsoft wonders why 98% of people DON'T yuse edge and imediatly replace it with something else. But yet MS tries to force feed us Edge.

    What total joke MS has Become just another Giant corp. that don't have to care about it's users.You guys also know that Windows will be subscription based in the near future right? Can't wait to see who will craft a subsitute. I will be all on board for that my hardware is mine not Microsoft's

    I have heard that from others also. Does not work for me. You would think if works for one it would work for all.

    I discovered if I put the cursor on the white line indicating the running time of the video, it has prevented it from restarting. This has worked for me since May 8.
