Basic Fixes

Fix 1: Enable Automatic App Updates

Instead of relying on manually updating apps, you can choose to enable automatic updates in the Play Store for your Android TV.

Open thePlay Store > Profile icon > Settings > Auto-update apps > Auto-update apps at any time.

Fix 2: Clear Cache and Data For Google Play Store

Since we are talking about app updates, we suggest clearing the Play Store cache on your Android TV. Once done, sign in again to your account.

Go to theApps tab > Long-press the Play Store icon > Select Info > Choose Clear data and Clear cache.

Fix 3: Uninstall Play Store Updates

With every software update, the Play Store also receives a new version on your Android TV. We suggest uninstalling the current update of Play Store.

Long-press the Play Store icon > Select Info > Choose Uninstall updates.

Fix 4: Reset Android TV

If none of the solutions work, we suggest resetting all preferences on your Android TV. Once done, install all your apps again.

OpenSettings > Device Preferences > Reset.
