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.

    Yep. I looked at installing Goggle, Firefox and other browsers and it pops up on top of their sites that Edge is better.

    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.

    1: eero 6 mesh router speed test 150+mbs

    2:16GB ram, terabyte of storage.

    3: Checked it, clean it up.

    4: Plugins turned off.

    5: If the file is corrupted it has to be on Microsofts side because I have done all of the above on three computers and and my neighbors and nothing, nadda, zilch.

    Hi everyone,

    Can you tell me what the version number of your Microsoft Edge is? You can follow these steps to check.

    1. Click on the three dots menu button.
    2. Go to Help and feedback.
    3. Click on About Microsoft Edge.

    Eric

    Sorry for the late reply.

    Can you try to perform Clean Boot. If the issue doesn't persists in clean boot it means the issue might be caused by a non-Microsoft program. Refer to this link.

    Let me know how it goes.

    Thanks.
