TV restarts after powering down

I recently bought a Roku 43R4A5R. It frequently but not always restarts after I power down the TV.

For example, I watch the TV for a while after supper & then turn it off. Sometimes, but not every night, the TV turns itself on while I'm in the shower or after I go to sleep.

I've tried a system restart but that doesn't help. The TV is mounted on a wall so I can't reach the plug to unplug the TV & then plug it back in.

The OS is up-to-date. Here are the details:

I turned off the screen saver. The TV has adequate signal WiFi signal strength because a WiFi extender is just a few feet away.

I hope that there's no router tweaking involved.

Why does the TV keep turning on after I turn it off?

    Hey, MacNerd79c​

    We noticed that you're experiencing an issue where your Roku TV restarts on its own after being powered down. 

    • Did you start experiencing this problem when you first began using the TV, or did it begin after the update?
    • Are you currently using the Roku mobile app as your remote control?
    • Do you have any additional devices plugged into your TV? (e.g., cable box, streaming device, gaming console)

    For now, try disabling Fast TV Start.

    1. Press Home on the Roku remote
    2. Scroll and select Settings
    3. Select System
    4. Select Power
    5. Find and select Fast TV Start.
    6. To disable it, simply check the box beside 'Enable Fast TV Start'.

    We'll anticipate your response.
