[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.

I have two Roku devices and while I did not notice it in the office room on 8/27, last night when I was going to bed, the main bedroom remote the back arrow button would not work. I tried the restart after verifying that the system was up to date. Still no joy, what does work is hitting the * [star] button which brings up the closed caption status, then exiting that and then the back arrow button will work again. Now on 8/28 the second Roku device is also doing the same thing and requires the same star button push to make the back arrow button work, so as of 8/28 YOU HAVE NOT GOT IT FIXED!!!
It is VERY ANNOYING and I hope you continue to work on this as I do not appreciate it, especially since it's a known issue, SHOULD BE FIXED ALREADY
