Hi. Did what you asked Yes, I was running Malwarebytes. In fact, as I examined it was told there's a new version. Upgraded to it. Signed out of test identity, went back to 'real' identity and Youtube seems to work fine now. Maybe Malwarebytes was the culprit? Either way, thanks SO much for your advice.
