Roku keeps rebooting and requring me to set up from the beginning
Three times this past week, Roku has logged me off and required me to start the whole process as if I were a first time user. The latest time, I turned the TV off and 10 minutes later, it turned itself on and required me to start the log-on process. Each time, I have to waste time going through the screens where Roku tries to sell me something. Then it loads my home screen with all sorts of garbage I don't want, which I then have to waste time to remove. It also scrambles the apps I do want, so I need to waste time reorganizing them in the display that works best for me. Finally, it logs me out of some of the apps, so I have to waste time logging back in. Each time, this takes the good part of an hour, so I have already wasted a couple hours of time this week. Since the screen shows that Roku is "updating" the app each time I do this, I have to assume everything is current, and that there is a defect in the programming that is not being fixed. I don't want to go keep going through this every few days.

Re: Roku keeps rebooting and requring me to set up from the beginning
That's not normal. What's the model number of your Roku device displayed under Settings->System->About and how are you powering it? If you're using the TV's USB port to power it, try a USB power adapter that can provide at least 1 Amp plugged into a wall outlet.

If you appreciate my answer, maybe give me a Kudo.
I am not a Roku employee.
