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.
Managing media playback issues and settings in Microsoft Edge on Windows 10

I get the same problem with MS Edge on a MS Surface Pro with Windows 11.
Usually it's just the MS Start (msn.com) videos that randomly restart from the beginning, but occasionally YouTube videos will only play for a couple of seconds before stopping.
A reboot will fix the YouTube problem, but the msn.com videos still randomly restart.
Thank you for response. I have given up on trying to find a fix.
Can this issue be given a higher priority? I have tried all the fixes mentioned here. I have had the issue on different windows machines with different accounts.
I do have an ADGUARD ad blocker but have turned it off and it still does it.
I see this on all my systems. 2 PC and 1 MacBook. Annoying. It's definitely an Edge bug. Sometimes placing the caret (cursor) in the video window prevents it but I haven't figured out a consistent placement that allows the video to complete.
