As far as I know this is somewhat common, use the recommended apk version of YouTube shown in Revanced Manager, and patch. Every once in a while I need to do the same. Just delete the old APK off your Android device.

Ya there’s a multitude of options across various platforms, if someone is still using vanilla YouTube it’s their own fault.

Simple regedit used to fix this, but then stuff started to not work quite right as it got updated, and now I don’t think that regedit works anymore.
