Try to clear data & cache of Google Play Store app in Settings - Apps. And then restart your tablet and open Play Store to manually update the Youtube app.

Good luck to you.

Download size < 0.15 MB. But also accurate enough, ad-free & free.

Yasin
I did a little research for you on the internet, and I have a theory to the problem.
Your Galaxy Tab 10.1 is a very old device,
And it is probably operating on the 4.04 software!
That new version of You Tube may be to advanced for the software in your tablet!
That's why play store is telling you it is installed but it still will not work!
My best suggestion is to...
First go to play store, turn off your auto update setting. You will find it in the menue for that app.
Then go into settings, then apps manager.
Find You Tube. Then uninstall all updates.
That will take You Tube back to a version that is compatible for the software in your tablet!
If I'm correct, You Tube should work just fine.
Now that auto update setting I told you to turn off! Leave it off! Or you will get more updates that will cause similar problems.
Let me know if this works!

already had same situation for multiple apps, if the version you have is in accordance with the version they announced publicly, then maybe it's a false tip, or sometimes a new version of the program is still covering different types of devices and we just have to wait till the coverage is up to 100%. Plus, you can check whether the version supports your device system or not. That's all I can think of.

It's maybe because your tablet system doesn't support the latest updated version of Youtube, so try to turn off automatic app updates in Google Play Store and reinstall the app. If it isn't working, another solution is to find a reliable website (such as apkpure, apktovi or aptoide) that provides original APK files of Youtube and get an older app version that is compatible with your device. Hope this works for you!

Restart the YouTube app. Restart your device: Do a hard restart by disconnecting the power and then reconnecting. For game consoles: Uninstall and reinstall the YouTube app. Update your device's firmware/system software.

Will
