If you’re an avid user of your Samsung smart TV, you may have noticed that some apps tend to crash or close unexpectedly from time to time. This can be frustrating, but rest assured that you’re not the only one who has experienced this issue. Apps crashing on TVs is a common problem, and it could be due to any number of reasons such as having too many apps open at once or there is a software bug in the app itself. Regardless of the reason why your app keeps closing, in this article, we will show you how to restart an app on Samsung Smart TV.

You can also restart an app by pressing the Home button on your remote control. Here are some steps to restart an app:

  1. First, you have to find the app on your Samsung TV that you want to restart. For example, if you have access to a YouTube app, you can press the Home button on your remote control and select YouTube from the list of available apps. Then, press the Menu button and select Restart App from the list of options. Note that this only works for apps that are installed on your Samsung TV.
  2. After selecting Restart App, you will be taken to a window where you can select which app to start over again or restart altogether. Select the option for which app you want to start over again or restart altogether and then select OK. You will see a message at the bottom of your screen saying “Restarting” and then it should go back to normal mode after a while (this depends on the app you selected).
  3. If the restarted app is not working properly, then you can restart it by pressing the Home button on your remote control and selecting the app again. This time, select Restart App from the list of options. You will see a message at the bottom of your screen saying “Restarting” and then it should go back to normal mode after a while (this depends on the app you selected).
  4. If the app does not work properly after restarting, you can try restarting your TV. To do this, press and hold down all three buttons on your remote control for about 15 seconds until you see a Samsung logo appear at the bottom of your TV screen. Then follow steps 1-3 above to restart an app.
  5. If you are using a wired connection to your TV, then you can also restart an app by pressing the Home button on your remote control and selecting the app again. This time, select Restart App from the list of options. You will see a message at the bottom of your screen saying “Restarting” and then it should go back to normal mode after a while (this depends on the app you selected).
  6. If you are using a wireless connection to your TV, then press and hold down all three buttons on your remote control for about 15 seconds until you see a Samsung logo appear at the bottom of your TV screen. Then follow steps 1-3 above to restart an app.
  7. If you are using an HDMI cable, but the cable is not working properly, then try restarting it by following steps 2-5 above. After restarting, try connecting your cable again and check if that works. If not, then try another HDMI cable. If you still have problems, then your cable might be broken. You can try using a different HDMI cable or ask your friends or family members if they have any HDMI cables that they are willing to lend to you.
  8. If your Samsung TV has a built-in Wi-Fi connection, but no one is home and you want to stream something on Netflix or YouTube, then try restarting your TV by following steps 2-5 above. After restarting, try connecting your home Wi-Fi again and check if that works. If not, then try another wireless connection (if there is one available).
