    Hi vicblack1, I am Paulo and I'd like to help.

    Have you tried other browsers just to check if the problem only happens with Microsoft Edge?

    If the issue is only with Edge, try clearing youtube site data first. To do this, go to Edge Settings > Cookies and site permissions > Manage and delete cookies and site data > See all cookies and site data. Search YOUTUBE then click the bin icon to remove.

    If that didn't help, go to edge://flags and then search "angle graphics backend" then set it to D3D11on12 from the selection.

    You can also check other versions of Edge if it is the same
