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.

    Same here. It seems to be getting worse. Use to play for a few seconds, now it starts to play and goes right back to start. I would think if it was problem with video driver it would do it on all videos. Does not do in Facebook, YouTube or any other video other than Edge.

    I'm giving up on Edge. Going back to Yahoo on Firefox!

    I've had the same very annoying problem on msn pages with html5 videos for months in Edge, Firefox, and Chrome. The main problem is msn videos suddenly restarting from the beginning after 15-30 seconds.

    In Edge, extensions to stop html5 video autoplay do not work properly. With the extension, the videos will not autoplay (good), but there is no way to play them (bad).

    I think the issue is with the msn web sites themselves. There should be a configurable setting on msn that will disable autoplay for a user.

    It has been a month since this issue has been elevated to Microsoft engineers and still no clear solution (or even acknowledgment that the problem exists). It would be nice to know what work has been done and if it is still a priority.

    It has been over a month. I complained a long time ago and never heard anything. If anything, it is getting worse. I had one yesterday that repeated more than 10 times. I just let it go to see how long it would last. Had to close video and start over and it did it twice than stopped after I advanced the video progress bar.
