    I'm new at this Roku Community thing - I have been having the same problem with my remote this week.  I did a restart just now and it worked.

    If you have a Roku TV, you can do it by going to the Home screen and clicking on Settings/System/Power/System Restart.

    Hope this helps.

    Hi Community users.

    Thanks for posting and letting us know about this issue.

    The common workaround for this is to perform a system restart. To do this, navigate to Settings > System > Power (skip this part if you don't see this) > System Restart. If you cannot do so since the remote navigates randomly, you can do a hard reset by unplugging your Roku streaming device from the power outlet for 30 seconds and plugging it back again.

    After performing these steps, kindly check to see if the issue persists. Please keep us posted here in the Community so we'll be able to investigate further.

    All the best,
    Kash
