  1. YouTube won't play on Microsoft Edge


    This problem started occurring after the latest update for me, you tube played movie with no problem. In addition they are the ones I purchased/rented from Google Play. They work on my Android phone, just not on edge. I reset all to default and selected to run, still no luck.

  3. Thanks for responding, however, I don't find an installed Flash Player by adobe. All I have is a Reader installed.

    YouTube won't play on Microsoft Edge

    Reset Microsoft Edge to Default in Windows 10

    Did you use this above tutorial when you reset Edge ?

    Not to interrupt, but I think Gordon is talking about removing the Flash Windows Update (KB4051613) to see if that is the issue.

  5. I don't remember the steps that I took to do the reset.

    There is no Adobe program in the program and features except Reader. I don't know anything further.

    It' a Windows update supplied by Microsoft.

    Settings > Update & security > View installed update history > Uninstall updates

    Look for it in the 'Microsoft Windows' section.
     
  7. Ah, yes it was there. Uninstalled it, and I believe I have to restart before changes will take effect. I'll post back results.
    Thanks to all.

    Hope it's fixed now - ? For others that have this problem:
    Go to Control Panel > Program & Features > click on "View Installed Updates"

    Youtube videos run on Edge here no problems with that in the 1709 update, no need for Direfox.
    It uses HTML5 player by default not FlashPlayer.

    I tried everything I could find on the internet & this forum to figure out why youtube couldn't play in Edge. I finally fixed it by right clicking on the sound/volume icon on the right side of the Taskbar, (I've forgotten what that area is called). I then selected 'Playback Devices'. I then played around with the speaker choices & reset the default. I can't remember exactly what I did, but it solved the problem & I can now get YouTube ok with Edge. I would suggest checking with the Windows Media Player first to see if that plays music ok. If it won't then try my suggestion.
