How to Fix Error M7121-1331-P7
Netflix, like any platform, may have minor errors or errors that the user must solve. However, many people don’t know how to react when they get an error code on Netflix.
Also, they don’t know what it means because Netflix only puts on your screens the message “Something went wrong …” accompanied by the error code.
It should be noted that the errors are different and each one means something, and recently I talk about other errors and how you can fix them. But on this post, I will show you how to fix the Netflix error.
Method #1: Compatible Browsers
If you get this code on the computer, it means that there is a problem with the browser. One thing you need to verify is that you are using Netflix compatible browsers.
The browsers compatible with Netflix are:

- Internet Explorer 11 (in Windows 8)
- Microsoft Edge (in Windows 10)
- Firefox 47
- Opera version 33
- Safari 10.10
All these are the minimum versions, and if you have a higher version, it will be compatible.

Another thing you can check to solve this error is to run Google Chrome as an Administrator.
- Rightclick on the Chrome shortcut and in the menu select the option Run as Administrator

- You can find the User Data folder, using the keyboard shortcut: Winkey + R and there copy and run the command:
%LOCALAPPDATA%/Google/Chrome/User Data
Method #3: Disable Extensions
Extensions or Add-ons are useful tools that help you to add new features to your favorite browsers, but sometimes these extensions can have a conflict with the Netflix servers and be the cause for the error.
Therefore, you need to disable your extensions to see if that fixes your error.
Disable extensions on Chrome:
- To disable extensions on Chrome, copy the following code in the address bar and press Enter:
chrome://extensions/ - There click on the switch of all the extensions
- Then revisit Netflix, if you the error has been fixed after this you need to enable your extensions one by one to determine which one if the problem.

chrome://components/ - Once in the Components page, scroll down to the bottom until you find the Widevine Content Decryption Module
- Now, click on the button Check for update and wait.

Method #6: Check Netflix Server Status
If you have recently seen this error code m7121-1331-p7 on all the devices where you have installed Netflix, maybe there is nothing wrong with your internet connection but with the Netflix servers.
Luckily, Netflix offers you a webpage where you check the status of the servers and verify that the problem isn’t on your computer.
There you should see the message Netflix is up! Otherwise, you need to wait until Netflix repair their servers or finish the maintenance.
Method #7: Try Another Browser
This error has been reported to appear more in the Google Chrome browser; therefore, you can try to use another browser to verify that Netflix is running without problems there.
The one I recommend you to try is Mozilla Firefox, and you download it from the following link.
