Hello, you may want to try to reset the Hulu app itself. To do this, first go into Windows Settings, then navigate to Apps & Features. Now, scroll down until you find Hulu, then click on it and select "Advanced Options". You will see a button that says repair. Click on it, after that, click on Reset. Now restart your computer and see if this does anything.
Hope this helps, and let me know if you have further questions! :-)

I do not have the option of advanced options or repair. It only allows me to uninstall it does say modify but that is greyed out. This came when I u[graded to windows 10 I wonder if the trial period is over so not it doesn't work so I have to uninstall and download to force me to buy it or something

Hello, i suggest for you to do an uninstall of the app and do a full re-install. Since Hulu makes you connected to an account, just logging into Hulu will allow you to keep the subscription that you currently have, so you do not have to worry about re purchasing the subscription.
Hope this helps, and let me know if you have further questions! :-)
