since last update, all my videos are now briefly pausing every few seconds

as of version 1.3.4.3285, all of the videos in my movie collection I’ve attempted to watch are pausing ever so breifly every few seconds.
was there a change that would cause this?

never had an issue until now. very fast skylake core i7, 32 gigs of ram. I never have issues with my pc, so this is a first for plex.
video lan client playing my videos just fine.

should have mentioned, this is windows version on windows 10. should I post in that forum?

correction again, looking for a downgrade, I went to the plex for windows download page. it now downloads under windows store, so I installed it that way. the store app is not pausing. so it appears the problem is with web playback, since that’s how I usually accessed the server on my local machine, via the localhost plex weblink.
