Apps will not open on my Hisense roku TV

I have a Hisense Roku TV and my Netflix app is the only one that works. It started a few months ago if I try to open anything except Netflix or Roku Live TV my screen goes black. I waited to see if it needed loading time but nothing happens until I return to home. I uninstalled the apps/restarted the system and reinstalled and it still won’t open any apps. I bought the tv in December so it shouldn’t be too old. Is there anything else I can try?

No none of it helped Netflix is still the only app that opens despite trying all of the suggestions I could find. Including the prev responses. I just use air play if I want to play a different app

The advise you’re giving isn’t helping why not update your stuff so we can watch the apps we paid for
