MS Edge Stable / Canary, Facebook Video Watch Internet Connection Issue

Davy49 · Jul 24, 2023

I'm wondering if anyone else is experiencing the same issue as I've been lately, when I try to watch videos more often than not I receive a small screen prompt that states that my internet connection has been lost please refresh. When in fact my internet connection hasn't been lost at all by evidence of my wifi signal that's showing on my windows taskbar. I've tried running this command prompt in the administrator mode (ipconfig /flushdns) and I receive the notice that the operation was successful. This issue doesn't happen with the other windows based browsers I currently have installed. Thanks in advance for any & all help that gets provided.

There's no version 23H2 yet. That build is a recent Beta and you have a higher Dev build in your profile.

Which build is correct?

Sorry about that, I totally forgot to change that information, as I'm 74+ years old I've already noticed a considerable change with my memory.

Hey @Davy49, to get back to your question, you might want to check:
1- Any extensions that have updated themselves to a stricter level
2- your settings in Privacy, search and services, especially play with the switches below.
( MS Edge Secure Network).

Hi Everyone,
Just to keep you updated concerning my reported issue, I have tried this : How to Fix DNS Server Not Responding on Windows 11 as well as sending the edge developers feedback concerning my issue, I've already received an acknowledgement email message from them, now I'm just having a wait & see type of attitude to see if anything might get done about the issue.
