HDCP error usually shows up when your device (like a laptop or streaming box) and your TV or monitor aren’t playing nice with copy protection stuff.

Try this:

• Unplug and replug the HDMI cable.
• Use a different HDMI port or cable.
• Restart both devices.
• Make sure your display supports HDCP.
• Avoid HDMI splitters — they often cause issues.

If it keeps happening, switching to a different screen or using a certified cable usually helps.
