Apps Not Launching After Update

Here are some clear, helpful suggestions for the Roku issue described in your post:

Hi there, thanks for sharing your experience — that sounds incredibly frustrating. Here are some suggestions that might help before doing a full factory reset:

🔧 1. Try a System Restart from Settings

Even though you've restarted manually, go to:
Settings > System > Power > System Restart
This sometimes works better than unplugging.

📡 2. Forget and Reconnect to Wi-Fi

Since your network keeps resetting:

Go to Settings > Network > Set up connection
Choose your network and select “Forget Network”
Reconnect again and enter your password.

🧹 3. Clear Cache (Soft Reset)

Do this using your remote:
Home (press 5 times) → Up → Rewind (2x) → Fast Forward (2x)
This clears cached data without deleting anything.

🔄 4. Check for System Updates Again

Go to: Settings > System > System Update > Check Now
Sometimes new builds are quickly patched.

📲 5. Access Roku Mobile App

If the remote or UI is buggy, try using the Roku mobile app to navigate and manage the device.

💡 6. Factory Reset (Only If Needed)

If nothing works, you may need to do a full reset:
Settings > System > Advanced system settings > Factory reset
Note: This will delete all apps and saved settings.

Also: You’re not alone — other users have reported similar issues after the 14.5.4 update, so Roku may push another fix soon. Keep an eye on their official forums or support page.
