The information related to the application or the browser can be a pain when it is not stored in a proper manner.

We need to understand the different information-related issues on the platform to pick the solution closest to your issue. Let’s get into it.

Fix 1: Restart or refresh the web browser

If you are using the web browser for streaming, there can be a chance of certain information overload on the browser.

It might be because of a lot of tabs open on the browser, or a certain glitch. You can attempt to solve this by refreshing the browser.

If that does not help, shut down the browser window and stop all the processes related to it. Restart the browser and try again.


Fix 2: Check if any extensions are active on your web browser

If there are any extensions on the web browser, they may sometimes interfere with the websites launching on the web browser.

Turn off all the extensions on the web browser and then try to play content on Netflix again. If you are able to play content now, this means that the extensions were the problem.


Fix 3: Update your operating system

The Windows version that you are using might not be compatible with the version of Netflix that you are using.

Check for updates on the operating system on your device. It is also essential to update the operations system on the device to make sure that all the processes on the device work fine. 

Check for updates on the operating system and immediately update it to the latest version if you find one.


Fix 4: Turn off the hardware acceleration on your device

Some users on the user forum have mentioned the fact that they only notice this issue when they have turned on the hardware acceleration on the Chromebook.

Turn off the hardware acceleration on the device using the steps mentioned below.

  • Launch the Chrome Browser
  • In the address bar of Chrome, enter chrome://flags
  • You will see that an Experiments page appears
  • You will see another search bar
  • Type Hardware-accelerated video decode in the search bar
  • On the dropdown menu that you see in choices, click on Disable
  • This will disable the hardware acceleration on Chromebook.

This might solve your issue if hardware acceleration was turned on for the Chromebook when you were trying to play Netflix.


Fix 5: Check if your network allows for playing Netflix

If you are using a work or school network that has placed restrictions on the platforms like Netflix, you might notice different issues on the platform.

Use a different network or different device for playing Netflix. If you have accidentally turned this setting on for your personal network or device, you can change this by accessing the administrator settings.
