To repeat a specific YouTube playlist on an old Windows PC, open a video from that playlist, expand the playlist panel beside the player, and select Loop. That repeats the selected list; Autoplay instead moves on to a related video. You do not need a separate automation app for a normal viewing session.

If you want the playlist page to reopen at sign-in or at a scheduled time, Windows Task Scheduler can launch an app or task on supported triggers. That is only a launch convenience: it does not guarantee YouTube will start playing or recover unattended.

Loop a saved playlist in YouTube

  1. Open the saved playlist in a desktop browser. Check that it is the playlist you intend to repeat; a playlist link contains “playlist” in its URL along with a playlist identifier.

  2. Start a video that belongs to that playlist.

  3. Expand the playlist panel beside the player and select Loop in the playlist box.

YouTube’s playlist loop repeats the selected playlist. It is different from Autoplay, which plays another related video after the current one. The documented desktop steps are not specific to India.

Choose the right playback control

Control or method What it does Does the sequence persist?
Playlist Loop Repeats videos in the selected playlist. Use a saved playlist for a reusable list.
Autoplay Plays another related video after the current one; it does not guarantee a specific hand-picked sequence. It is not a substitute for saving and looping a playlist.
Desktop queue Creates a temporary viewing sequence. No. YouTube says the queue is not saved after the browser closes. Save the videos as a playlist if you want to reuse them.
Windows Task Scheduler Can run a task at supported times or at user logon. It may reopen an app or page, but does not itself ensure YouTube playback or recovery.

Make a hand-picked playlist

  1. Create or edit a YouTube playlist and add the videos you want in the rotation.

  2. Arrange the videos using YouTube’s playlist controls, then open that saved playlist and enable Loop in the player.

  3. Check that each video is accessible to the account and viewers who need to watch it. Private videos require sharing with the viewer, and access-restricted videos may not play for everyone.

Optionally schedule the browser to open

Use this only if your goal is to open the playlist page at sign-in or a particular time. Task Scheduler supports time-based and user-logon triggers, but Microsoft does not describe it as a YouTube playback integration.

  1. First check which Windows release and browser are installed, then confirm that the browser still supports that Windows version.

  2. In Windows Task Scheduler, create a task with a supported time or user-logon trigger and configure it to open your installed browser with the playlist page. The precise setup can vary with the Windows release and browser; verify the task’s action and trigger in the version you have.

  3. Test the task while signed in and watch what happens. A browser prompt, sign-in requirement, sleep state, shutdown, network interruption, or other failure can prevent playback. Do not assume the task will start the video or restart it if playback stops.

Check an old PC’s Windows and browser support

“Old PC” does not identify a Windows edition, browser, processor, or memory capacity, so compatibility cannot be assumed. Check the actual Windows and browser versions on the machine before relying on it for long sessions.

  • Windows 10 version 22H2 reached the end of standard support on October 14, 2025. Microsoft says Windows 10 PCs continue to work after end of support, but no longer receive Microsoft security updates under standard support. Continued operation is not the same as continued security support.

  • Microsoft lists Edge support for Windows 10 SAC 1709 and later and several Windows 10 LTSC editions, while noting that functionality and feature availability can vary on older systems. This does not establish compatibility for every browser or every old PC.
