Users across all platforms are facing this error, and are facing difficulty in finding a viable solution.

Open the Netflix Website in the Browser’s Incognito or Private Mode
The Netflix website will not load correctly and show the error code M7362 1269 when the browser’s extensions are interfering with the website or Netflix Cookies are not valid anymore. Here, opening the website in the browser’s incognito or private mode will solve the problem.
You can open the Incognito Mode of Chrome by using the belowmentioned steps.
- Open Chrome and expand its menu.
- Select New Incognito Mode and in the incognito window, go to the Netflix website.
Open a New Incognito Mode Window in Chrome - Log into it and you should be able to stream content without the error.
Disable the Browser’s Extensions
When an extension, such as an adblocker, interferes with the correct rendering of the Netflix website in your browser, this will result in the m7362 1269 error. Here, disabling the browser’s extensions will clear the error, given that the website loads correctly in the browser’s incognito mode.
