Roku Express 4k+ Remote Volume & Sound System Control Stopped Working

On or about Dec 20 when it received the last software update my Roku Express 4k+ volume and sound system control of volume stopped working. The Express also seems to stay on all the time (the light is on constantly now) previously it would stay on a few seconds after the TV shut off and the light would go out. 

Before the software update the remote would turn on the TV when any of it's buttons was hit. It also would turn on the sound system and control the volume of the sound system and or the TV itself. It now does none of this. Nothing was changed in regards to wiring or a change in the setup. It also sometimes will not turn on the TV???

    I’m having the same issue! I will go to settings, system, remotes, and do everything that I’ve been told to do and then I can use the volume, mute and the power button until I go to an app/channel and then it stops working and I have to do the process over again. I bought these brand new a few months ago and having this issue is very frustrating.
