Been watching a movie, and every 10 minutes or so, movie window just closes and I hate to hit Resume to start watching again. Did anyone notice anything like this? Have Safari and Mail running in background.

Doing it on a 13 Macbook Pro.
 
I think you mean Apple TV+ or the TV app, not the Apple TV.
Yes. The Apple TV+ App on my mac. I watched the entire movie 10 mins at the time, with the actual movie window closing, then me having to hit the resume button. Wondering if it's something with the last update?

What's interesting here is that I came to these forums for the exact same issue - but it's happening on the new Apple TV. I figured it was some sort of software bug, this is definitely pointing further in that direction. Every 12-20 minutes, my movies stop as if I'd pressed the back button, dumping me to the play screen. It only happens with movies, not with Netflix, Youtube, HBO Max, etc. I haven't tried watching TV shows but I won't be surprised if they act the same way.
