Netflix Playback Error M7357-1003 (WidevineCdm component error) in Google Chrome quick fix

I recently had trouble playing Netflix in Chrome; it was giving me an error (M7357-1003) that said I needed to update my WidevineCdm component. I tried this, and it didn’t work. I tried a bunch of other fixes I found online and none of them worked.

The real fix is simple. So simple you will smack yourself if you’ve been trying to fix this.

Run Chrome as an administrator. It’ll work now. 🙂

    Love you. It worked. I had tried a lot of things and none of them had worked. I even tried the crappy W10 App.

    Thanx a lot.

      No problem. I have a lot of little fixes on here for stuff, check back for other weird fixes. Especially for gaming issues.
