In fact, I’ve been watching Netflix on this laptop since the upgrade without incident until last night. So Wednesday night, I log into Netflix and watch a bit of Archer without issue.
After a quick familiarization in a VM, I upgraded my existing Windows 7 Enterprise install on my laptop. I’ve been running Windows 10 Technical preview since the day of public release. He has provided the workaround to Techworm in a image tutorial which is reproduced below :
It seems that Netflix and Windows 10 are on a different page all together about the User Agent and that is the reason Netflix will give errors on Windows 10. However Occam’s Razor has found out a workaround for the problem. The SIP protocol (based on HTTP) followed this usage. In particular, the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) identifies the client software originating the request, using a “User-Agent” header, even when the client is not operated by a user. In many cases, a user agent acts as a client in a network protocol used in communications within a client–server distributed computing system. For example, an email reader is a mail user agent, and in the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP), the term user agent refers to both end points of a communications session. In computing, a user agent is software (a software agent) that is acting on behalf of a user. The problem seems to arise out of User Agent assigned on Windows 10.
