Roku Device Features, Settings & Updates

[FLgirl]

There is a black box in the lower right on the screen that says, "A new software update is available.  Would you like to update now?"  Choices are Show Details, Update Now, or Update Later.  Update Now is highlighted, but it won't actually let me select anything on this menu.  Roku is fully operational behind this stupid overlay box that will not go away.  I tried to power TV off and on.  I've tried going to Settings and updating manually, which worked successfully, but the box is still there.  It seems to be part of the black background since I can barely see the picture behind the box.

Can you give us the Model number and or brand of TV? is it a RokuTV?

sometimes these things get resolved by simply unplugging your TV

counting to 20 and plugging it back in.

It is a Sony Bravia TV.  We have Roku's on the other TV's in the house that are the same brand.  I will try unplugging it and plugging it back in.  I usually think of that!  Thank you.

Was happening to be too tonight. I dug out the remote for the TV (also Sony Bravia) and clicked menu and then it let me select update! It’s gone now! Yay! 👏🏻🙃🤟🏻

@Randy7, it's not clear what your problem may be, but try unplugging the power from the TV for several seconds and plug it back in.

Kudos to you for bringing this problem up. I have the same problem. I hope ROKU is preparing a FIX for this problem. I can't see the picture because of the "New software update is available" that won't go away.

Please let us know what you are doing to correct this problem.

@mmarti21, are you certain that message isn't coming from your TV and not your Roku?  I've never seen such a message from any of the myriad of Roku devices I have.
