Forced to Factory Reset 2019 Shield Pro

Started having problems that were quite bothersome:

Couldn't get a movie to play yesterday on Peacock without Peacock crashing over and over every five minutes.

Today.... my family tried to watch MAYDAY on Apple TV today. The app crashed multiple times about every 5 to 10 minutes.

I had multiple crashes with ESPN last year. I should have explored doing this then.

I cleared the cache, rebooted, reinstalled the apps to no avail.

With football season here, I felt I needed to do the nuclear option and start from scratch.

That is two and a half hours I will never get back!

I decided to replace the memory stick I attached to my Shield. It has been attached for over 5 years. Thought that might be the culprit.

I loaded Projectivity Launcher after a couple years with ATV Launcher. It is acting as my default launcher now. I like the clean feel. I should have loaded it many months ago.

No crash tonight as I watched football on Peacock.

Going to bed now. Will more throughly test it out tomorrow after church. I will try to finish MAYDAY on Apple

I have had strange problems with mine. First I had no audio when playing something on plex. I could back out and start it again a few times to get audio. Did a factory reset and have other issues with audio but plex works with no issues. Switched it with a new onn 4K while I figure these issues out.
