First thing to check is if the batteries are inserted correctly. Some Roku remotes have both batteries facing the same way, while others have one up and one down. If the batteries are in correct, you can test the remote by viewing the end of the remote through a digital camera (like a phone camera) and see if there's a flashing light when you press a remote button. No flashing light, the remote isn't working. 

If the light is flashing, then the remote is emitting its IR signal. Now make sure you have a clear line of sight between the remote and the Roku. Nothing can be blocking the remote from seeing the front of the Roku. Even a tissue paper is enough to block the signal.

Thanks for the information. Nothing when doing any/all of the "hints." Seems my remote has given up the ghost. Purchased July 2022. Thought I'd get a bit more life out of a standard remote - at least a year...

I paid 12 dollars for a new remote and it doesnt work either ...im so ticked off ...i dont reccomend roku to anyone ..this is stupid

@lazymessiah69 What model of Roku do you have? If it's one of the Stick models, the simple remote does not work on any Stick model. The simple remote is IR only, and the Stick does not have IR support. If you have a Roku TV, the TV models use a different remote than the Roku players, so you have to have the correct remote.
