The highly anticipated release of Stranger Things season 5 on Netflix drew thousands of fans to the platform. However, many users encountered the NSES-500 error, leaving them unable to load videos. The error message reads 'Something went wrong. Sorry, we're having trouble with your request.' According to Downdetector, a platform that tracks online outages, over 15,000 complaints were reported from the US alone. The NSES-500 error is primarily a server-side issue, indicating a temporary glitch or overload on Netflix's end. However, it can also be caused by local factors such as network instability or a corrupted cache. To resolve the NSES-500 error, try the following steps: 1. **Refresh and Restart**: Close the tab or app and reload to see if the issue is resolved. 2. **Check Internet and Servers**: Run a speed test to ensure your internet speed meets Netflix's minimum requirement of 25 Mbps. You can also visit Downdetector or Netflix's status page to check for any server issues. 3. **Clear Browser/App Cache**: Clearing your browser's cache can help resolve the issue. For Chrome users, go to Settings > Privacy > Clear browsing data (cached files). For app users, go to Settings > Apps > Netflix > Storage > Clear Cache. 4. **Update Software**: Ensure your browser or app is updated to the latest version, as outdated software can cause conflicts. 5. **Switch Devices**: Try loading Netflix on a different device or browser to see if the issue is device-specific. If it works, you may need to reinstall Netflix on your original device. 6. **Contact Support**: If none of the above steps resolve the issue, use Netflix's help center chat for assistance. Responses may take 24 hours, but live chat is faster during outages.
