Prime and Netflix exiting to Home Screen randomly

While watching certain programs on our TCL Roku TV, the app will suddenly exit and return to the Home Screen by itself. This typically happens when viewing Jack Reacher on Prime, and The Crown on Netflix. When watching these programs on our other Roku TVs, the issue does not occur. I have restarted Netflix (Prime does not have this option), checked for updates on the apps, switched profiles, checked for updates on the tv, removed both apps, restarted the tv, and unplugged it for 10-15mins. The TV is connected to a very strong 400mbps internet speed. After contacting both app providers, each believed this was more likely a Roku issue. Any assistance would be appreciated.

TCL model 50S45

Re: Prime and Netflix exiting to Home Screen randomly

My Roku TV is also having this issue. I’ve tried restarting, deleting the apps and reinstalling, factory resetting the tv and starting from scratch, nothing works.
