The Netflix “Lost your way?” message is not what you want to see when trying to browse the latest movies and TV shows. Unfortunately, it is a common sight alongside the error code “NSES-404.” Thankfully, there are workarounds to help solve the issue. Here’s how to fix the “Lost your way?” error.
How to fix the Netflix “Lost your way?” error message
To fix the Netflix “Lost your way?” error, users should:
- Make sure they aren’t trying to access region-locked content.
- The catalog of content available on Netflix differs between regions. Trying to access a show or film that isn’t unlocked for your region will result in the “Lost your way?” error.
- Using the Netflix app on a TV or mobile device will automatically sync the correct region.
- Browsers don’t always sync the correct region, making this error more common on internet browsers like Google Chrome, Firefox, and Edge.
- Disconnecting from any VPNs.
- A VPN sent to a different region can cause a conflict.
- If you’re located in the U.S. and trying to view a U.S. Netflix show, but you have a VPN set to Europe, you are likely to encounter this error message.
- Updating out-of-date bookmarks.
- If you’ve bookmarked a show to watch in a few months or so, it’s possible that the show is no longer available. That bookmarked URL will now lead to a “Lost your way?” error.
