Im watch youtube and either im playing music are just watch a vid it just suddenly pause and i have to unpause it every time. Sometimes im not there to unpause it so the whole room be silent till i get to it. Its so annoying!

Sounds like YouTube is just buffering. Maybe your broadband connection slow or just overloaded.

In agreement with rocktalkrock.

Will add that perhaps your computer is doing something else in the background: e.g., backing up, running an AV scan....

You can use Task Manager, Performance Monitor, and Resource Monitor to observe what may be happening.

Open the tool, run and watch for a few minutes. Drag the window to the side. Then launch YouTube and continue watching. Observe what happens or changes when the pauses occur.

Keep in mind that when watching YouTube you can manually select the image quality [480p, 720p, 1080p]. If you don't manually select, it will default to the highest quality, and most bandwidth intensive stream it can.

@thasatelliteguy - no need for profanity.

Sure the situation is frustrating but it would be more helpful if you provided more details and information about your circumstances.

Many factors involved.
