Netflix suddenly a bit wonky

[adam1991]

When it works, it works--but getting it to work, every time, suddenly requires that I first exit and restart WMC.

If I don't do that, I get a Silverlight error.

Of course, I have the latest Silverlight. And there's no problem in a browser.

I don't have to restart the computer, just WMC. And I never turn off, let sleep, or restart the computer (other than its occasional random reboots, thanks, Windows). I can't imagine what's happening under the hood between my Netflix viewing sessions.

This just started happening a couple of weeks ago. Thoughts?

Why don't they just leave us alone. What a coincidence (that's right when the guide blew up)

[adam1991]

Yeah, but I have updates AND the update manager both turned off...

so do i. In my case critical still gets through. Possibly through MCE or guide, or some other back door.

huh. Will check this tonight...

Check that post of yours from a couple months ago. The one where an update got ya, and then you did a restore. We went on and on trying to find a stop button. I'll see if I can find it too.

The bottom line was, if you use MSE, that's leaving the door open to critical and they can nail you anytime they want.

^ I do not use antivirus or antimalware products on my HTPC.
What does update automatically is the in-built Windows Defender, but they are not listed as critical updates.

I was sort of mistaken. If you disable the update service MSE won't work. Found the post..... http://www.thegreenbutton.tv/forums/vie ... 777#p69777 and it was more than a couple months ago.

[adam1991]

yeah, no updates of any kind here, critical or otherwise. Just automatic restore points for the sake of creating restore points.

I checked that and immediately went to Netflix, and it worked. Not sure what's going on here.
