Application update needed but theres no update

I just got disney plus today so my kids could watch it on the tv and i did put a show which was working totally fine but once i went back to put a movie all of a sudden it said i needed an update. I followed the steps it said on the tv to update the app but it was up to date it didn’t need one, i tried to go back to the same show and now it says the same thing. Therefore i cant see anything on it. I have a hisense roku tv i already did a factory reset and nothing works. Anyone have the same problem?

    I am having the same issue! I've done everything I can think of with no luck. Did you manage to find a solution? I have a Roku 3

      Hello! I tried to do that but removing the channel is not an option. Any advice?

        I did a factory reset and it cleared all the apps then downloaded again in the setup

      Carly -

      @Jackie_11 has a Hisense Roku TV.   As a moderator you need to know this:

      For Roku TVs and some newer Roku streamer models, the System restart menu path is Home > Settings > System > Power > System restart
