3/13/24 My 2017 Insignia Roku smart TV is suddenly doing something very stupid. It is now kicking me of all .. all .. apps every 6 minutes. (Yes, I actually timed it!) Ive tried the plug-unplug bit til I'm blue in the face & my net/WiFi has "excellent/strong" connections. Apparently, my TV does not have a "check apps" selection, so I am unable to clear individual app caches. I refuse to reset the TV to factory setting! I can't afford a new TV due to the quadrupled prices in this post-2022, post-COVID-greed-era. I hope I don't have to return to watching the same da*mn 40 dvds like I did when I had no WiFi service for 4 months last year! So, any rare, but effective, diagnostic & treatment suggestions would be most appreciated! Thanks!
I really don't know what would cause this. But these things are just special purpose computers. Like their big brothers sometimes clearing things out by restarting them can correct problems.
Try restarting the set via this menu path:
Settings > System > Power > System restart
Note: On a Roku TV, if you have "Fast TV start" enabled, turning it off and back on just puts the set into and out of a standby state and does NOT give you a complete restart.
