Methods to Fix Error Code M7353 on Netflix

Turn off third-party extensions

The first thing you should do is to try to use your browser in incognito or guest mode, and if it’s running fine, then a third-party extension may be bye cause of your problem. Open the overflow menu in the top right corner of the browser, click on More tools, navigate to Extensions and Addons, and disable all your extensions.

You can also find the Extensions setting page by visiting chrome://extensions on a new tab. When you’ve done either of these, you can then put them on one by one to find out which exactly is causing the problem. When you fish it out, delete or disable that extension permanently. If you’re making use of a VPN to bypass Netflix regions, its extension could be the problem. So, you would need to stop using it and find some other way.

Update your Widevine Content Decryption Modules (Google Chrome)

An out-of-date Widevine Content Decryption Module could be the reason you are experiencing this error, and solving this problem, you should check if there are any updates available, and update to the latest version. You can do that by following the steps below:

• Visit chrome://components/ on a new tab in Google Chrome.

• After updating, restart your web browser and try streaming your Netflix with no hassle.

Turn off other monitors.

Your PC is connected to other monitors could also be a reason for the occurrence of this error. An external monitor or a sensible TV might not support HDCP, so it’s preventing you from connecting to Netflix and playing videos properly. So, you should disconnect your computer from any other monitors, and try loading the title again.

Turn off Antivirus or Third-party Firewalls

Antivirus and third-party firewalls play an important role in keeping your computer secure. However, they may unintentionally interfere with Netflix, and the only way to fix this is by updating or temporarily disabling them. You have to first make sure your firewall allows Netflix. You can do this by following these steps:

• Launch the Settings app on your PC. You can do that from the Start menu or through Search.
• Search for “firewall” in the Settings app and open Firewall & network protection.
  
• Click on Allow an app through a firewall.
• Find Netflix and confirm that the checkbox next to it is ticked.

If your firewall doesn’t, however, allow Netflix, then you need to update or temporarily disable it. To update, check if there is any available update for your antivirus and if there is, make sure you update it its manufacturers may have already corrected problems causing their product to interfere with Netflix. If there is no available update, try disabling your antivirus and third-party firewalls and then try to stream Netflix. If your Netflix works well, then you should re-enable it and contact the manufacturers to find a solution to the problem.

You should, however, note that this should be done only if you are an advanced computer user because if you configure your antivirus and firewalls incorrectly, it could lead to serious problems for your PC.
