Why does my Hulu keep exiting?

Hulu keeps kicking me out

Hulu will keep kicking you out if your downloaded application is incompatible with the device you are using to launch the service on. This could be because the Hulu app contains corrupted software that is conflicting with your device, or, your chosen platform is not compatible in supporting the Hulu software.

What devices support Hulu?

If your Hulu app is compatible with the device it is installed on, the following four reasons could be why you are experiencing this setback;

Reason 1. Outdated Hulu app

If you are launching Hulu that is overdue an update, this will interfere with the app working effectively.

The software will be inundated with problematic data that should be erased through the update of the application.

An outdated Hulu app will keep logging you out until it has been upgraded to its latest version.

Reason 2. Corrupted Hulu cache files

Every time you launch Hulu, cache files will be automatically downloaded onto your device. Over time, these files can become corrupted and cause issues with the app when you try and make use of it.

Reason 3. Lagging internet connection

With Hulu being an online streaming service, it needs to receive a minimum amount of bandwidth to stream without any interferences.

If your internet connection is inadequate, Hulu will either keep kicking you out or start start ‘hanging’ when you try and process a request.

What is the minimum internet speed for Hulu?

If you are using your device for other activities that require internet while you access Hulu, the bandwidth requirement will need to be supplemented.

Reason 4. Hulu server issue

If Hulu is not working, it could be because the Hulu server is down. When this issue occurs, the Hulu app on your device will be unable to reach the server, so your request to launch the app or stream content will be undelivered.

As a result, Hulu will keep kicking or logging you out.

(Fun Fact; We all know of the series South Park due to its popularity. With that in mind, American subscribers have watched the show on Hulu for more than 107 million hours, which is equal to around 12,000 years of watching a movie.)
