I am now having this issue, and my Roku is relatively new, bought it a few months ago. It happens across apps, Netflix, YouTube, doesn't matter. I've tried all the suggestions in this thread also and it is still doing it.

Hi, @Logand

  1. Press Home on your Roku remote
  2. Scroll and select Settings
  3. Select System
