[Solved] Back button on Roku not working
Hey everyone,
We’ve seen reports where the back arrow button on some Roku remotes isn’t working.
Status update 8/28: We believe the issue is now resolved by performing a system restart.

Same issue - Roku broke something. To be clear, this is the Back arrow button next to the Home button.
As you said, others are reporting the back button doesn’t even work from the Roku app.
The only workaround I’ve found is toggling on the voice control slider button on the side of the remote (if your remote has one). Toggle it on and see if the back button begins working, then try toggling it off. Play around with it. For me, it fixes the problem temporarily at least. There seems to be some link to voice control.
Roku, please get this fixed.
Nice!! I don't know how you found this glitch to the Roku Glitch. But I'm glad you did because this has been driving me insane.
When I read your post, I thought, "Hope that works for people with that slider on the side. But does me no good. I don't have one on my remote."
Then I thought about it and hit the mic button. It brought up the menu for voice. In the app I was in, CBS News, the back button started working again. I don't know about any other apps.
Most important to me, is Plex. I'll try it later and see. If it works, I will edit this reply. My thinking since I started working with the Roku OS back in 2014 was that the [Home] button should take you to the Home of the App first and then the OS Home. But what do I know. I've only been working in IT Systems Engineering for 29years.
