EDIT:
So according to this thread, this is a Google related change and not Nvidia?
In which case, similar to the banner issue from a previous update, you can get a different launcher (see comments for FLauncher) to avoid it

Lol omg LGs user experience is better? It’s like it was designed by a toddler infused with meth, liquid capitalism, and hatred for graphic design.
Their settings suck, their remote sucks, their software sucks, their apps and app store sucks. The only thing LG does right is make the actual panel.
My personal experience has been the opposite. I have a C8 so maybe the software is different but I’ve found the settings to be decent, the remote to be far and away the best (magic remote) as you can use it like a mouse. Especially when you have to input something, rather than furiously mashing directional buttons to navigate the keyboard you just point and click. All the apps I use work great. The UI is responsive especially compared to the typical TV that runs Android which just feels like a massive lagfest. The software store does suck! Luckily I rarely use it after the initial setup. You can put apps in whatever order you want and quickly switch between them.
I’d only disagree that their remote sucks - I like it a lot, but I also don’t know others! It especially pisses me off how it doesn’t keep the apps in the motherfucking order I put them in.
It’s strange because I’ve never had an issue with the app order changing. It’s consistently worked for me since I bought the TV. It’s an older C8 but still works perfectly well.
I don’t know why it always moves some around randomly after turning off and then on the TV, but I gave up trying.
Maybe you know it, but is there a way to make the home screen the standard view after turning it on? I don’t have cable and I cannot find anything to do that, and it’s my only real gripe with it left, I just accepted the rest.
I’m mostly happy with it, I just hate that they collect all the fucking data they can about you through the TV and mobile app, and you cannot even use simple speech-to-text “without internet” (I blocked any and all traffic to LG so they can suck my nuts).
Maybe I should also add, regarding your point, that I did not have a TV before for many, many years and mostly only use it when people are over or to listen to Spotify while doing stuff around the house.
Which model do you have? Mine doesn’t have a “home screen”. It turns on to the last used input. There is a bar that pops up from the bottom with all the apps on it and that opens when you turn it on. Honestly I didn’t realise how different the UI may be across different models.
Oh yeah, the UI in yours looks completely different. It’s way higher-end though than mine!
Mine is apparently “LG 65UQ80009LB”, for whatever it’s worth :D I could probably make it better by letting it go to standby but that’s not worth it for me. There is an option called “Home Auto Launch” but whether that’s on or off it boots to HDMI.
Anyway, it’s really not that big of a concern! Thank you for the replies though 😁
