A few focused troubleshooting steps that build on what asked and suggested. First, determine whether the player is actually running out of buffered video or whether playback pauses even when there is a buffer ahead of the playhead. Those two symptoms have different causes and different fixes.

Quick checks to run now (from the PC that plays the video):

ping -n 50 8.8.8.8
tracert youtube.com

Run a web speed test while not streaming to get a baseline, then run the ping/tracert while a problematic video is playing. If the ping shows timeouts or big spikes while the video pauses, that points to packet loss or wireless interference. If the buffer (the filled portion of the progress bar) never gets ahead of the playhead, it’s plain bandwidth — lower the playback quality (360p/480p) and try again.

Practical fixes in order (fastest to try first):

  • Try a wired Ethernet connection to rule out Wi‑Fi interference.
  • Temporarily lower YouTube quality to confirm it’s bandwidth-limited.
  • Close other devices/apps that might be using upstream/downstream bandwidth.
  • Restart modem/router and, if available, try a different wireless channel or move closer to the AP.
  • Test in a different browser or disable extensions and clear the browser cache; update the browser and the video plugin.
  • If everything else looks fine but latency/packet loss persists, test briefly with a VPN to see whether traffic shaping is happening (use only for testing).

If the PC shows very high CPU or disk use during playback, that suggests a local resource problem—watch Task Manager while reproducing the issue. If the steps above don’t pinpoint the cause, post the ping/tracert outputs and a short description of what you see in the player (buffer progress vs. sudden pauses) for more targeted help.

Hello, Im just wondering , do the youtube videos stop because its buffering or do they stop at some point during the video and won't continue? Also before the two months were the videos working fine?

Its just buffering. Your internet connection isnt fast enough to stream in real-time so wait for it (the red bar) to load most of the way before starting to watch.
