Netflix

Hi Marshall3,

There could be a number of factors as to why you are having issues launching the Netflix app. This could be caused by a software conflict or due to an issue with the application itself.

I suggest that you reset your Netflix application by following the steps provided below:

• Go to Settings > Apps > Apps & Features.
  
• Click the Netflix app from the list and then choose Advanced options.
  
• Click Reset.

If the issue persists, you can consider uninstalling and reinstalling the device. To uninstall, follow these steps:

• Go to Settings > Apps > Apps & Features.
  
• Click the Netflix app from the list and then choose Uninstall.

Let us know how it goes and we'll assist you further if needed.

 

Uninstalling Netflix

I have a white square "ghost" icon remnant from uninstalling Netflix.

It was a pre-install with a new pc through windows 10.

It may have failed to uninstall properly.

Clicking it re-installs Netflix as another app in the list.

Re-installing and uninstalling still leaves a ghost icon (white square).

Can't find it in the start menu programs list, others are there, but not that one.

Did a search for Netflix, but...how do I get SYSTEM privileges to delete Netflix app files that won't uninstall with ADMINISTRATOR privileges?

Why does a non-OS app have the ability not to be deleted by the user?

Thanks

Hi Nishkaam,

There's a possibility that the firewall or antivirus software on your computer is blocking the access to Netflix, we suggest disabling it first before connecting to Netflix. Follow these steps:

• Close the Netflix app.
• Turn off the firewall and antivirus software on your computer.
• Now, launch the Netflix app.
• Once it's connected to Netflix, turn back on the firewall and antivirus software on your computer.
• You should be able to access Netflix now.

Let us know if you need further help.

Regards.
