How to Remove Apps from a Smart TV
Показать описание
TV Model Vizio D50F-E1
From what I've seen online and in the manual, this technique should work on all Vizio TVs and models from some other companies as well.
Situation: About once a year something goes wrong with my TV to the extent that a factory reset is required. After the factory reset, we have to input information and set up our internet. Many people like to customize the apps that their TV has available to them.
None of the solutions online worked. The information in the manual did not help. But, I solved the problem last year and had to figure out what I did to get it to work.
The issue: We are supposed to "Double Click" 2x the "V" button near the center of the remote. The first click gives us the Apps Dock. The second click (timing does not matter) gives us the Apps menu. However, whenever I 2x the "V" button, it merely blanked out the screen , as shown in the video.
What caused the problem: After the TV went through a factory reset "FR" it did an automatic update. Then we put in the pertinent information, including our WiFi info. At this point, we should be able to 2x the "V" button and get into the Apps menu to add/remove apps.
This did not work because: I don't know. However, we redid the FR and did not put in any WiFi information. Then we tried to go to the Apps menu and were directed to input our WiFi information. After we input the information (second time) everything worked as it is supposed to.
Conclusion: If you are having problem with the 2x "V" getting you into the Apps menu: Do another FR and don't input your WiFi information until after trying to get into the Apps Menu. Then input the WiFi information.
I am making this video because I figure in a year, I'll have to do this again. At that time, I might not remember what I need to do to resolve this issue.
If this video helped you in any way, please consider giving a thumbs up.
Many thanks and take care.
