The problem as reported by others continues. For me it started the week of 11-20-2024 and seems related to the temporary ad topics stuffed into the home screen, or the deployment of the new Backdrop feature.
Why are labels "bug" and "UI-Failure" not allowed? They are the most appropriate for this problem. None of those listed are actually useful, such as "General Question".
update:
Device is 4K Streaming Stick
Device says last update was 11/15/2024
Device reset did not resolve the problem.
