Hello guys, first things first, I tested my Wifi speed on various sites, I'm well over 300mbits, my components aren't the newest, but my 3070ti with 16 GB ddr4 Ram should handle it fine. Now to the problem. I have always had problems with YouTube, after clicking on around five videos on one Tab, I had to close the one and open a new one, otherwise the videos lagged over 20 secs... But now another Problem emerged, 4k videos just don't want to load, I've never had issues with 4k, but if I click on a 4K video now, it always auto sets to 720p and below, and if I try to get it on 4K i have over half a minute of buffering with more buffering all trough the video. I am really hoping that someone had that issue and solved it or someone really smart reads this and knows what to do... additional infos: Windows vers. 23H2, newest Crome, I have set all my power settings to max performance, I have a Lan connection, i have no lags in games, discord, anything other than YT, all Drivers up to date, I have the following Crome extensions: Adobe Acrobat, Idc about Cookies, SocialBlade, uBlockOrigin, Google Dictionary Thanks in advanceSmile

Consider turning off your ad blocker or using a different browser like Firefox. Check if this resolves the problem. It appears YouTube is employing methods to prevent ad blockers from working.

Certain adblockers can slow down loading, no matter your YT premium status. However, since you have it, it’s better to turn it off for YouTube to avoid unnecessary delays.

Do you possess the h264ify add-on? It seems unlikely you do, especially since using it caused issues on YouTube.
