Hulu keeps going back to Roku home screen

I tried deleting the Hulu app as recommended in an older post from 2023 and adding it back it but that did not solve the problem. Every time I click on Hulu, it just takes me back to the Roku Home Screen. The other Apps are working fine. Hulu streams directly off my ipad just fine.

@Cltriceh

Did you restart** your Roku to clear its memory cache after uninstalling but BEFORE reinstalling the channel?  Without the restart you may not get a clean reinstall. 

Depending on your Roku model number you'll find the "System restart" option under either "Settings > System > Power" or under "Settings > System".  

If you don't have sufficient control to use the menus, or if it is just more convenient, you can also restart by pulling the power plug for a short while, then plugging it back in. 

**On a Roku TV with "Fast TV Start" enabled, turning the TV off/on only puts you in/out of a low power standby state, it does NOT give you a complete restart.  Use the methods above.
