Likely causes

WHY
  • Unstable Wi‑Fi or a router that needs a full power cycle
  • Profile data on device no longer matches the cloud session
  • IPv4 vs IPv6 preference causing flaky routes to Windows
  • Wrong profile selected after an automatic update

Fix steps

FIX
  1. Do a hard reset cycle on the player (not just sleep), then reopen Windows before changing any settings.
  2. Update Windows from the TV app store (and install any pending system update), then reopen the app.
  3. Sign out everywhere you can for Windows, wait a minute, sign in only on this device, then test.
  4. Set DNS to 1.1.1.1 / 8.8.8.8 (or try a phone hotspot) to rule out ISP routing around VIDEO_TDR_FAILURE.
