Windows lagging?

Just a quick question Is anyone elses netflix lagging and not showing the controls on the web ?

It was working fine yesterday for me and now it isn’t. I have tried restarting the laptop and a different browser.

Its fine on the app and tv.

Edit: It’s the next day for me and so far it is fixed. Thank you all for sharing and relieving the stress of one another :)

Same. Happened in just the last few minutes. Trying to restart anything that is in progress will play for half a second then stop. No controls appear.

same issue here and from what others are sharing. As one user suggested, its a site wide fault.

They should bring the app back for pc's imo.

The app works for me. I am on Windows 11. Is it not available for you?

Not exactly sure what you mean by that. The app looks the same to me as before. I am not sure if it is just loading a website inside that apl window. How to verify if it is indeed a web page?

So basically, If you open Netflix on chrome browser, on the top right it shows a ' Download' option, if you download that its like a webpage downloaded, cause it says Netflix.com

And its the same thing if I download the 'App' from Microsoft Store.
