Specifically, when I start playback, the video plays for a fraction of a second, and then pauses. The same exact behavior can be observed on multiple unrelated websites, and happens in every browser Chrome, Edge, Firefox, even in browsers that are newly installed.I am seeing this problem on two separate machines one laptop and one desktop, each running Windows 11, which is why I've posted this as a Windows 11 problem. I do *not*

    Videos pause every few seconds.

    Sometimes slow internet connection can lead to issues such as videos pausing on YouTube.

    I would suggest you try To check the internet, open any other website or run a quick speed test on your device.
