Randomly closes apps after restarting and redownloading apps

Jump to solution

My Roku tv constantly quits when I’m in the middle of watching a show and kicks me back to the home screen. Sometimes up to 30 times during my show.

Have you tried a restart of your Roku TV?

If you have "Fast start" enabled on your set, turning it off and back on does not give a full restart, it just puts the set into and out of a low power standby state.

For a full restart:

  • You can restart via Roku menu path Settings > System > Power > System restart.
    (Note that on some Roku streamer models this is Settings > System > System restart)

  • You can also restart by disconnecting the set's power plug for a few seconds then plugging it back in.
