Error code APPS 04036 when trying to connect to YouTube using voice remote

Other apps (Netflix, Prime) are working nornally, but for the last 3-4 days error code APPS 04036 pops up when I try to bring up YouTube.  I have tried turning off and on, unplugging the box, and a system refresh.

Also tried getting a resolution with Xfinity Assistant, but that also hasn't worked.

I have tried that, and I have also tried to resolve the issue on the phone with a technical specialist (I don't remember the exact title).  Sadly, I still cannot access YouTube using the Xfinity remote.  Another Xfinity technical specialist called me to say the problem is my TV (although I can access YouTube via my Smart TV, so this response doesn't make sense to me) and I need to call the TV manufacturer "to reset the app."  Mostly I have just given up hope of accessing YouTube through Xfinity.
