Do you have the paid subscription tier for Netflix? You can't have the basic plan and stream 4K.

You need to use the Netflix App for 4k.  It won't work via web browser.

Your CPU is too old. To get 4K on Windows you need to be using a 7th gen or later Intel processor (idk about Ryzen, but I'd suspect it's the same supported list as Win 11) and be using either Edge or the native Windows app.

 

Isn't DRM just swell?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

 

Desktop:

Intel Core i7-11700K | Noctua NH-D15S chromax.black | ASUS ROG Strix Z590-E Gaming WiFi  | 32 GB G.SKILL TridentZ 3200 MHz | ASUS TUF Gaming RTX 3080 | 1TB Samsung 980 Pro M.2 PCIe 4.0 SSD | 2TB WD Blue M.2 SATA SSD | Seasonic Focus GX-850 | Fractal Design Meshify C | Windows 10 Pro

 

Laptop:

HP Omen 15 | AMD Ryzen 7 5800H | 16 GB 3200 MHz | Nvidia RTX 3060 | 1 TB WD Black PCIe 3.0 SSD | 512 GB Micron PCIe 3.0 SSD | Windows 11

In that case, how are you connected to your screen? 4K also requires the connection to support HDCP 2.2. It should work via DisplayPort, but usually works more consistently over HDMI.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Have a look at this thread i posted a while ago:

 

Maybe you just need these HEVC video extentions.

If someone did not use reason to reach their conclusion in the first place, you cannot use reason to convince them otherwise.
