Hi, are these URLs along the lines of what you see in the address bar while playing a video, for example,

https://www.youtube .com/watch?v=sN-yrZ1UnEY

or are they in some other format?

(When sharing URLs to YouTube, to avoid a possible spam link block, put a space between youtube and .com.)

jscher thanks for the help. As it turns out I had to make a pin to sign in to windows to make this problem go away. All is good now..............thanks again

Well yesterday it worked fine but today it is not working again. When trying to watch a utube vides the screen looks normal just like any other time, but the section where the video would normally show is just white. I can see comments, and the other possible video selections along the right side, but that's all.

Here is an example of one that won't play: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y3hXYININJw

Do you have any add-ons related to videos, such as video ad blockers or downloaders/recorders? You could disable those and see whether that makes any difference.

Well you were right. It probably was the ad blocker, but the odd thing is that when a utube would not work I would go to the ad blocker ultimate and find the slider either off or on. If I just slide it to the other position the video would work. Now if I go to another utube video it would not play, but moving the slider again would make that site work. I did that game for a half day and now utube works every time without having to move the slider. I don't know enough about ad blocker to understand this at all.
