How To Fix Almost All Roku Issues/Problems in Just 2 Steps - Roku Not Working

[@monkeyboy1955]

This is why I love You Tube University.Comcast guy just left,couldn't figure out problem.Your system restart fix cleared up all issues.Much thanks from a tech challenged guy.

[@rjc5161]

Wow guess I'm in the 10% of the problem then because none of this helped me lol

[@kellydinsmore2080]

Yup, I'm a 10 percent-er too..

[@swish4773]

Must be more than 10%

[@jefflundquist5771]

"What you're gonna want to do is restart or reboot" How obvious and pointless, this isn't a FIX to anything at all since it just happens again.

[@paulastiles7428]

THANK YOU. Roku's new "upgrades" had most of my channels not loading up shows. I rebooted my router and my laptop was having no problems with the internet. Signal strength was fine, but nope. No go. Then I tried the Roku system reboot et voila. And you explained it all in less than three minutes. Yay!

[@suzimore1875]

This video saved me from a lot of angst over my inability to access my Roku account. I followed instructions and was happy to regain access to all of my Roku videos.

[@caleski8]

I’m stuck.. Roku won’t display on tv tho cords are secure. Now I have no electricity to it now, so I’m out of luck.

[@SusanBishop555]

I have my Roku 2 hooked up to an analog TV in one room only...I haven't gotten a new TV there yet. I have problems with my You tube channel only. It starts up fine and then shuts down in the middle of what I am watching. I saw someone below said You Tube was not on Roku 2? I have it so I don't understand their issues. I also have the restart system ...and that does help. But I have to restart every time to watch You Tube videos. Such a pain...but I still LOVE my Roku. :D Thanks for all of your help.

[@heartofalegend]

Netflix was blurry, but going through this seemingly pointless exercise, indeed brought back the 4k. Props to you, my friend.

[@susan6351]

IT FINALLY WORKED FOR ME. Give this a try..you have nothing to lose if your ROKU is buffering. I purchased another ROKU STREAMING STICK HD/4K/device with the LONG RANGE WIRELESS (the Gray Roku box..NOT the green box). The additional long range wireless wire that comes with it really helped. I moved my Router from the bedroom window to the entrance of my bedroom door (approximately 10 feet) - change to a longer wire if needed and it now works perfect!! my Samsung 50 inch TV is in the living room and it works very smoothly now. my router is approx 100 feet away from my roku. It's not your internet and it's not the ROKU ...it is the router which needs to get as close as possible to the ROKU STICK.
GOOD LUCK..HOPE THIS WORKS FOR YOU.

[@theflash10500]

didn't fix the issue at all for me. I have tried doing this several times. smh. so frustrating.

[@lgpalumbo52]

You have the BESTEST (that’s a word here in Texas) info. The restart fixed me right up. Thank you ever so much. I’ll be tuned in

[@detayshastuckey6133]

Yes this helped me! Tried to watch movies but they all displayed a white screen did this and now it works

[@ShuShuMcJ]

Thank you. Doing the system restart helped with my issue of the Roku acting extremely slowly and not responding to the remote for several seconds with each click. This fixed it completely!

[@sweetbeginnings5381]

the restart helped with sound.. I can hear the show now, but still have the purple screen of unauthorized content. :/ thanks for sharing your info!

[@albertj7860]

I found that the purple screen can be resolved by unplugging both ends of the HDMI cable (tv and roku side) and then power cycling the roku

[@edcontestabile]

I found a reset button behind the ONN TV, then first screen came up: choose language. English was highlighted but couldn't click it. I had a 110 volt power strip and other plug ins under the TV and it was blocking my remote signal. Moved it aside and now all is well. Make sure your remote signal has clear access to the TV. Thanks.

[@heartlightweddings]

Thank you. I spent long hours last night trying to figure out why none of my channels would load. This was a simple solution.

[@jayfre5783]

Thanks bunches! My INSIGNIA ROKU TV had a crazy blinking red light after a major power surge/event that blew up my Comcast Modem (just replaced it Friday). Going to the SETTINGS and re-establishing the WIFI Internet connection cured the problem. While it was a bit of a round-about solution it took about 15 seconds to complete, no more red blinking light...yeah!

[@artsmart]

Thanks for the fix, worked good. Don't forget you'll need your connection password from your cable supplier to re-connect.

[@angelakee7092]

thank you! sound "disappeared" on roku. after watching your video, i'm good now!

[@JanetSchmidt]

This actually helped. I restarted the system, and now it works. Thought I would have to buy a new Roku stick. I had already disconnected the stick and then plugged it in again, but restarting the system through the menu worked!!! Thanks.

[@robertaboesch8444]

I, too, think I love you. I followed your advise and fixed my Roku. Could not be happier. Thank you.

[@lillianbissing8133]

Thanks! System restart worked. Kept getting bumped out of Netflix and Prime even though all other channels we're functioning.

[@terrybracchi]

Thank you for posting this. Apparently, your video is of much more help than Roku support, although it did not work for me. :-( Roku support is absolutely of no help when it comes to error code 014.11. In fact, the agent I spoke with did a screen share with me, and told me not to touch my mouse, as he navigated quickly through my terminal settings, firewall etc. He was telling me that I needed to install security software on my network. (I have 2 other Rokus plus 2 AppleTVs, not to mention computers, phones, etc that are all connected to the network and have no problems.) He was just about to start the installation of the security software (which I find very questionable and suspicious.) I quickly disconnected from the screen share, and told him I did not feel comfortable with that. He asked me to check my other Roku devices. I didn't, and they were online without any issues. When I told him that, he hung up on me. First of all, be very cautious about giving someone mouse control of your computer when they are screen sharing with you. Secondly, do not let these 3rd parties in a foreign land install any kind of software in your computer. I am very surprised by Roku's technical support, and will never buy another Roku product. People should be aware of this.

[@IloveyouJesus545]

The menu displays were all just blank boxes for Netflix and Amazon in my Roku. But this solved the problem! Thanks!

[@loriru]

THANK YOU! Sorry I felt compelled to yell with joy. Could no longer load you tube for two frustrating weeks. System restart worked perfectly!

[@anamariarosato]

Thank you! My Roku played the video and quit playing the audio. Went through your two steps, and bam! Magic! Thank you so very much!

thank you!! you just solved an issue I've been dealing with for a week. *good vibes to you and yours*

[@pamroller]

Thanks so much. My images for the shows was not displaying the pictures. Followed the instructions and it worked!!!!

[@macypenna7277]

My HORRIBLE Roku TV has gone out again. It has NOTHING to do with my Internet connection because the REGULAR TV in the living room is working fine. I have the Roku in my bedroom and it goes out in the middle of a program that I am watching, and then I go into the living room and my REGULAR TV is working just fine. BEFORE BUYING A ROKU TV JUST REMEMBER, IT WILL GO OUT WHENEVER IT PLEASES AND IT HAS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH YOUR INTERNET CONNECTION. If I had it to do all over again I WOULD NOT HAVE BOUGHT A ROKU TV.

[@alimali544]

Very helpful! I couldn't get the RUclips app to load and after the restart is came right up. Thank you!

[@thetruthaboutanxiety]

Thank you! Had to clear cookies and messed up my logins on apps on Roku. Reset Roku and all is back to normal. Appreciate the advice!

[@CineRocco]

Thanks for that. My signal was really slow on Roku. Hadn't used it in a long time. I just had to re-connect the wifi signal.

[@sueannbaker3850]

Thank you for making this video. It is excellent and solved my problem of not being able to download any channels. I'd rebooted my router and unplugged my ROKU from the back of the TV and it hadn't fixed the problem. Your solution did.

[@siaradeem2995]

I had a light brown screen when trying to stream and this fixed the issue. Thank you.

[@Huffy1001]

Thanks I had issues with RUclips my Wired Connection is ok, I rebooted (Roku) and it worked first time with no bufferin’, thanks again for the advice!

[@plarsenify]

The restart was exactly what my Amazon Prime channel needed to start showing thumbnails again. Thanks much!

[@lindasoules6678]

Thank-you! Solved the problem. I haven't been able to watch Netflix or Hulu for days. I'm glad people like you are there to send out help videos.

[@denisemelanson9717]

Thank you. My Netflix wouldn't load but it's all better now after do your recommendations.

[@samuraireincarnation3853]

Thank you so much I followed the steps and I do not get the air with my Netflix anymore with the RUclips or anything thank you so much

[@totalbliss1]

This doesn't help the sound cutting out issues when in HDR mode or no picture when connected to receiver. It works but the problem starts up again shortly. Only way I see to resolve is to get out of HDR mode and just put it on basic 4K which defeats the purpose of having HDR.
It's a bug that coincidentally started recently and they don't want to fix it because they'd much rather have us upgrade to their newer product.

[@drtroyturner7464]

The only thing that I would add is that if your house has several wi fi names for example one for your guest's. I find Roku as well as my off contract android phones like for you to occasionally switch to regain functionality. Even if the next name has a less strong signal, the devices seem to Wake up following this rotative switching

[@jmontoya3574]

Yes, Thank you, your directions worked perfectly. I had to unplug to rebut and that did the trick.

[@larosedenise2953]

Thanks. It works. I had sounds but no pictures. Thanks a lot

[@RonWayne2012]

Thanks man!! You just saved me from kids. Needed a restart. Thx again

[@iliketurtlesx8864]

something that i found irritating with my roku that just started happening with apps like Pluto TV and Tubi is, the apps stop running after a certain amount of time and the roku screen saver pops up. they used to continuously run until i closed the app but now they close automatically. any fix for this?

[@konopong]

Wonderful. Reset solved audio out of sync/no audio on some Vudu movies.

[@johnnylammons9407]

simple...................yet effective..........it solved my problem which was youtube would keep kicking out after starting..........thanks for sharing.

[@bryansilverstein4975]

The system restart is located in a slightly different area, but I found it. In doing the system restart though (essentially turning the tv off and back on) is pretty much what the problem has been lately. I'll be watching something and the system will restart itself. Just had it happen twice watching a program, both times at about the 10-15 minute mark in the show. Sadly, when I restarted the show it restarted from the beginning with no fast forward option available. )c: Nonetheless, did the restart and will try again now...

[@uptownshorty143]

This fixed my blinking twice wifi issue, thanks

[@feilox]

can you solve the youtube crash bug? reset roku and restart roku. still just crashes on launch and brings me back to main screen.

[@HowToTechVideos]

You can try these 6 steps, but no guarantee: ruclips.net/video/ZC7RRMBB_mM/видео.html

[@bizzm3102]

yeah still crashes

[@wnorris1567]

I have the same issue on two different Rokus. Stupid RUclips app crashes all the time. If I can even get to a video it will play for about a minute and then it will go back to the main menu for no reason. I don't use it for much else other than RUclips so this makes the device useless to me. I've been unable to find any solution. Just seems like a broken app they refuse to fix.

[@kiminbari]

me too...used to work like a dream--nice playlist surround sound...now it lasts 3 seconds and then crash

[@johnathancanion9903]

Can't pair my remote with my roku 1 RCA remote any help?

[@geriwink5421]

Great advice! Unplugging the TV and plugging it back in fixed our "no volume" issue! Thanks!

[@cspringer333]

None of these worked...but...I FIXED the motion stutter (after a year of trying)!!!! Don't know if this will work for you. I have a Sony Bravia TV. Went to SETTINGS/Picture/Cinemotion and the only HDMI that was on was for Roku. After setting it to OFF the video is no longer jerky!!!! Hope that helped.

[@wilmahairston8448]

I was getting audio but not video. I kept getting a white screen. I followed your instructions and this worked perfectly for me. Thanks!

[@shoopsbox]

Thanks. The restart fixed my youtube issue of sitting in que.

[@katie.cookie6349]

Thank you SO MUCH for the help!!! My Roku hasn't been loading for a few days and this is the only video that worked! I can't thank you enough!!!!!!!!!!!🤗

[@jackf7844]

The only fix I found for the terrible RUclips app is to send the content from your notebook computer to your TV via Roku RUclips app. RUclips gives you the option to "send to mytv" . Works great for me.

[@chrisdonawho6770]

If you're not connected to the internet, the suggested "Watch Now" ad to the right of your apps will not display. No need to scour network menus.

[@tylerkitty5549]

If you have this put in a extension cord just flip the switch for it off then on

[@TheBjthebear]

So glad you posted this! Worked for a problem I didn't know I had.

[@HoneyannAmaya]

No, i have several roku products. This stick wont connectv, period. Even did reset.

[@waynecayford4231]

They are apparently junk devices

[@Karen-ek4rv]

Reboot worked for me, I had no sound. Thanks

[@PoorKidOne]

Your video worked for me. Thanks for posting.

It did not work for my RUclips channel. After this it still doesnt load and returns to the home screen..

me too I have the same problem with an older model of Roku, it kicks me out of you tube. But my Roku express works fine with you tube that I have in another room.

[@rarwbabe1]

Thank you much for this helpful video! Netflix doesn't crash anymore.

[@kprozen-joy8062]

Thanks for ur help. Mine just freezes during commercial breaks......arrrrgh!

this completely worked for me (the reset). Thank you SO much.

[@bobby6805]

Thanks for the help. System restart in Roku worked for me also.

[@brandyrobertson877]

Thanks for your video. Just had to restart. Actually a simple fix once I was told what to do. Thanks again.....

[@gretchenmarie1216]

Thank you!!! I was so upset, I never sit down to chill and watch tv! Lol! Boom! Fixed

[@1framistan]

I FIXED Mine! It was stuck on the "dancing" roku screen and wouldn't boot. I tried pressing RESET button on rear of roku but no-fix. I unplugged for 15 minutes to see if COOLING DOWN helped... but NO FIX. Then I tried simply removing my micro-SD card, and the unit boots up now. Apparently when my software updated to the new version of Roku, it must have blanked out my SD card, or something like that happened. I put my micro sd card into my computer and it said it MUST BE FORMATTED before use. I reformatted it and roku is working ok now. Always try the easy things before PITCHING Roku in the trash.

[@mariamadeen826]

Thanks for your vid... it helps reconnect my roku and its now working

[@sixmilsix]

Thanks, Have my Roku direct wired through ethernet, Strongly recommend, no delay super fast, anyway, RUclips would not boot, restart fixed the issue.

[@adassamoya4073]

Thank you. the restart helped with sound.

[@angellynne77]

I'm using an older model TV (with the big backs) and I have a ROKU model 2500X... I can't get past the home screen and it's telling me not connected... How can I fix that??? Please help

[@gustavovega9921]

While watching a paid movie on Amazon it kept stopping and buffering, so I decided to turn it off and start again.
Then Roku screen froze I kept disconnecting the power no such luck. I decided to change the batteries on the Roku control and that was my actual problem. It works perfect

[@jonathanmurray792]

Thank you. I just unplugged it and plugged it back in.

[@susanyoung2503]

Thank you! RUclips was just churning, I did the update and it worked! You're a genius! Thanks again!

[@vickieerickson]

Tried everything and your recommendations. Cannot even get to the settings tab on my roku to check things out. Now what do I do? This has been a constant with the Roku.

[@JJ-hf1tx]

Simple fix. It worked for my laggy roku. Thx.

[@michgingras]

all i had was the Home and settings menus now it is fixed thank you.

[@user-fj7zz7gl9w]

For three days I keep getting this sound demo and lots of motion ads across the top of the screen and bottom of the screen. There is a green screen saver box then the screen is split. I have a primitive remote so no buttons to press to exit these annoying issues. Any help?

[@sherryhawkins556]

Thank you! My channels are working again. :-)

[@vickieerickson]

Browser working fine, modem brand new and tech check is working fine. Problem seems to be with the Roku stick itself. Tried plugging it into wall socket and still no change. Started and restarted over and over. Taken stick out put it back in. I can't even scroll the list to check anything on the Roku opening page. Yes I have changed the batteries three times to new batteries. Got any suggestions?

[@kczar1962]

thank you! fixed the problem. Needed a system rebooot

[@jeanyg6519]

At 2:52 he does say if we can’t even get to Settings, unplug the power, wait 10 seconds, and plug it back in

What if my issue is I'm in the middle of watching a show on the syfy channel I have and it won't stop crashing?

[@Tooheyp]

How about when i look up a show to watch.. it loads a different show entirely. I have watched it before but after their update it doesn't load right anymore.

[@SunshineStars]

No help. Still getting P-DEV320 error. Hulu support no help either. My Google WiFi mesh network is sporting over 200Mbps download, so that’s not it either. Help!

[@Jennifer-qp2wy]

seriously- why is "are you connected to the internet" the first thing they tell us to do. Like I didn't already think of that!

[@billvojtech5686]

You'd be surprised how many people's stuff does not work because it's not even plugged in, no less connected to the internet.

[@mollycave]

my issue is that i have this roku tv, and i lost the remote so i have been using the app. everytime i turn on my tv the censor at the bottom keeps blinking white twice and whenever i try to connect my remote app to the tv, it just says wake device. i've restarted my phone, checked if the app needed updating, unplugged and turned on my tv again, nothing will work.

[@christjnelavoie7758]

I just bought a Roku for my tv and I am so far very happy with it. I was wondering if I bought another Roku or just the stick can I use the same account for that one to
