I started having trouble with my videos just last night. Even if I turn on Chrome's private mode, the video pictures don't show up when I'm on the Home page or the Videos tab of my YouTube channel. This problem happens whether or not I have a VPN active. I checked for viruses and found nothing. I also tested to see if updating Chrome was needed; it wasn't. And I looked at Windows 10 updates for version 21H1, but there were none to apply. Have other people had this issue before? If yes, do you know how to fix it?

Do you use an ad blocker? I used to have this problem too, so I took out Adblocker Plus. Now I'm switching to uBlock and it's working great.

No, I don't use an Adblocker. My VPN covers for ads without stopping what I want to watch. But when I checked my extra tools, I forgot about Video Blocker that stops pop-ups from videos. Taking it out solved the problem. I'm not sure why this started happening now. If I have issues with bad vids popping up, I might reinstall it and check if it needs a new version or settings. Thanks.
