Looks like I may have to take this down as Google may have disabled the uninstall updates option. After watching this back, I don't seem to have the Discover & Apps tab yet. What are your thoughts on this update? 🍻
Alan Shields Hamilton South Lanarkshire Scotland. Thank yoi for up loading this particular video. The latest update is not a massive issue for me personally but the layout was far better before the latest update in my personal view. 10 out of 10 for this particular video.
It's been working for me since the unwanted update now but I went a small different route. settings...apps...show system apps...go to google play services and force stop then disable then clear cache. At this point it should go back to your basic home screen. Reboot and it should remain that way since you have google play services disabled. But if you use a lot of google services it will disable all of that. The only other thing I use on my Nvidia that is google is youtube. So I uninstalled youtube and installed Smart UA-cam TV from Aptoide. And it keeps me logged in. You'll just have to set a reminder on your calendar to enable google play services once a month or however long and then reboot so it will auto log in so you go and see if there are any updates. Then do the above steps again to disable. I tried a launcher manager with wolf and it really screwed the shield up. When a enabled debugging and it was going through the install process it messed with my 2.4 ghz usb dongle for my after market remote.
That's how I felt in the start of your video hahaha. I even went on Nvidia to post how pissed I was with the ads and I was switching back to fire stick because of the the ads. Thanks for posting this video.
Thanks for the help. The first time I did what you said it didn't work I must have done something wrong but it seems to be working at the moment. You saved Nvidia a customer. Because I also have G-Force now.
I love the Intro !! You wanted to know !! I usually say Hi from the wet Coast of Canada but we are headed into a Heat Wave ... supposed to hit 40C + on the weekend ( hot for living on the edge of a Rain Forest ) All the best to you and your family :-)
It's too bad this doesn't work anymore. As soon as you try to enable Google Play Services again everything reverts back to the newest version. I could live with the ads, but I hate the top menu. I'd rather have the Apps button at the beginning of the Favorites row. I suppose I can look for an Apps drawer app
Ah thanks matey, I saw people mention something similar but they advised leaving the play services turned off, so some all’s won’t work or update! I’m going to give the new interface a chance as it DOES run faster on my Shield and apps load faster so……
Choking the remote control over your shoulder at the start of the Video Was an existential expression that displayed my exact feelings with Google. ( youtube has become unusable with adds don't kill the shield in the same way)
Thank you oogles and boogles!!! I DON"T LIKE IT!!! Actually I loathe it. Your simple and clear step by step instructions on how to repair this Nvidia Shield abomination deserves to win BEST UA-cam TUTORIAL OF THE DAY!.
So this was working for a while, even after re-enabling so I could sign into UA-cam, but it would reset if I had to restart the shield. I tried it recently and the ads / banner won't go away at all anymore. Did I maybe miss something? If they did patch, have you figured out a new workaround?
My mecool km6 did the same thing, so I tried this and it restored the old interface. When I turned it on the next day it returned to the new interface.
Thank you so much for this video. My shield updated today at least a month after my 2 mecool boxes (km9 and km1) I'm personally not a fan, and as you mentioned in a previous video, I don't expect to pay top end for a device and then have it littered with adds. The old version was imo so much cleaner. Thus fix was a must for me. Can this be applied for mecool boxes, I only ask because I'm not a fan of my 9 year old daughter seeing adverts for things that are above her understanding
Looks like I don't have a don't have a "Uninstall updates" on the Android TV Home. When I restart and re-enable Google Play Services it comes back. Am I out of luck? Great video as always. Wonder if your other channel got blocked, that doesn't sound good.
Go into Google Play Store and search Android TV Home. See if you can click update. After updating you should have the uninstall updates option again. May need to turn of Auto Updates in the Google Store also.
I don't mind it but it only gives me the option of seeing ads from Amazon (which I have) and Disney+ (which I don't) no mention of the other services I'm subscribed to. BTW, love the channel, just found it recently.
If you disable auto-updates will it prevent this in the future or do I need to do this step every couple of days? You should repost the first min of this video in a loop. I LMAO and I keep replaying it,
I did this yesterday from a written tutorial I found, it worked for me until this afternoon when the ads re-appeared on home screen. Blocking updates makes no difference as Google can, and will bypass the block. It was a very short lived victory for me.
Hello Love your videos do you have a video to show how to create custom title or tile on the old-style Google home screen. Not sure if it can be done on the new style Google layout.
I think it's a temporary fix. Nvidia really SOLD OUT. They gave Google more control and Google will be able to control more of what you can't install on your device. Just like the Cyberflix Play Protect issues going on now
Hi, I have a MECOOL KM2 TV Box, do you have a video for this box in removing the annoying adverts? I have tried everything and no luck at all in doing so. Thanks!
Personally, I never gave Nvidia or Google permission to update the device I bought. Having ads forced on my really aggravates me. I tried your suggestions, but as soon as I turned on the google services, everything updated. And with the updated version, there's no uninstall.
Looks like on my end after all the steps I done the way you advised, once I activate again Google Play services, the ads came back on. So could be a geolocation issue?
I tried this and it worked but now I can’t control UA-cam. I can’t sign in to UA-cam or the play store to reverse it. When I type the sign in for UA-cam, nothing happens when I tap the sign in for play store, it flashes but nothing happens.
Sir I've followed your steps on my samsung TV it worked fine adds never came back but on my Sony TV it comes back very next day any reason why is this due to Sony TV is Android TV on sony side its there but nvidia shield keeps on coming back... Thanks
I don’t mind the new look with ads but i lost the icons to the left ie i see the UA-cam row but with no UA-cam icon on the left, so i have to open a video from the row and then go back to open UA-cam.. Any fix to bring back the app icons on the left? Thanks
So far this worked for me. What is not mentioned is that once you restart to go back to the old interface you need to then sign in to Google play store. I linked back this with my phone and now on restart it stays with the old interface. If miss this step a second restart put me back to the Google shite. Why don't I like it? Because we have 4 people including kids on my box and I need to be able to launch the app to choose which profile. In the new Google ui you can't seem to do that without going through all the apps list and the side launcher is so much easier
So seems the update comes back because its tied to auto update on Google play services. If you disable auto updates then the new look won't come back. The down side is needing to manually manage updates for Google apps downloaded from the play store. Can't see a way to stop downloading for a particular app.
Do you have any idea what's going on with the remote for Nvidia shield, I have the regular mouse and a air mouse and they both have the same problem. You can click to advance the mouse and it stop advancing unless you hit the home key or the back key its a continuous problem so I'm wondering is it the box or the remote, suggestion or recommendations for this issue
I hate the new interface. I hate it more because I wasn't given an option to install it. If I block it now and it returns later, Shield will be tossed into the trash.
I just did this today July 2 and it worked but as soon as I went and enabled Google services and restarted it the Ads came back and back to square 1. Sounds like the only fix is a custom launcher
I have followed the steps 3 times an every time I go to reboot it brings the android tv interface back up again but as long as I dont reboot I have the old interface there
Looks like I may have to take this down as Google may have disabled the uninstall updates option.
After watching this back, I don't seem to have the Discover & Apps tab yet. What are your thoughts on this update? 🍻

The latest update is not a massive issue for me personally but the layout was far better before the latest update in my personal view.
10 out of 10 for this particular video.
I have the new update and under Android TV Home the Uninstall updates feature is there.
It worked!!...briefly. I use the built in android tv channels and as soon as I watch some over the air stuff, the new launcher comes back.
What's the word on filelinked? Why is it down
Excellent guide, it’s sick how there’s not an easy option for the user to turn this on/off. Really bad move by Google.
The Intro??? Priceless!!! Subscribed long ago! Thanks for All your content!
Yep, thank you so much! The new home screen looks like the old Fire Stick.
Unfortunately, that Workaround was very short-lived. It was still missing after a few reboots. But eventually, that ad crap completely re-surfaced!
Same here
It's been working for me since the unwanted update now but I went a small different route. settings...apps...show system apps...go to google play services and force stop then disable then clear cache.

That intro was f**king brilliant buddy 😆😆😆
😂 I was contemplating whether to put it in or not 😂🍻
That was exactly my reaction. I was like Oh HELL NO. !! !! Which is what has brought me to your video today.. let's hope you can fix the problem.
Awesome video brother. Thanks for sharing. Keep the content coming. Hope you enjoy your day. Much love
Many thanks and still works in 2024!
Your first reaction was almost exactly like mine. Pissed
Mine too. So pissed when I saw it.
Thanks for this. Too many people happy to do what their told and watch forced adverts.
Thanks! Woke up and thought someone messed with my shields UI. All fixed now thanks to you video.

I like it if I'm honest. It's just the change that takes some getting use to. 🍻
Thank you for the vid ! Confirming it worked on Xiaomi Mi Box S in 2023.
Hi there seems to be no options to turn off updates ..when I sign back in to Google it goes back to adds thanks j
Lol..what an intro... cracking on..😁😁😁👍👍👍
haha Cheers Patrick 🍻
I don't have a Nvidia Shield but I enjoyed the video and bloopers.😊
Cheers Paul 🍻
Thank you for this, much appreciated! Any suggestions on how to get rid of the recommendation banner? Thanks again!
That worked great! Thank you very much.
Definitely worth making, I'm doing it right now. Have you or anyone you know if done an in depth Nvidia Shield setup video?
I have to add it I did shame the Nvidia forum about how bad the new update was lol. But as I said it does run faster..
Thank you. This worked today.
Great video , will make a lot of people happy
It only works for 5 minutes, ads appeared on the old version too.
Great info mate thanks 👍
Haven't switch mine on yet 🤠
Top man let's crack on 👊

Top stuff my man gonna do it on both my Shields
Thanks a lot, you definitely helped more than one person!
Did this work for you in 2022?
A man was taken to hospital with 15 plastic toy horses inserted into his rectum , doctors have described his condition as stable.......
😂 I forgot to reenable the Google services. Panicked. Everything came back, less the ads. Thank you! No more Pee-wee Herman!
Hi I I have just tried this on my mecool Android TV box and it's worked thanks very much
Brilliant stuff. You're more than welcome John 🍻
My mecool km6 did the same thing, so I tried this and it restored the old interface. When I turned it on the next day it returned to the new interface.
And actually restored mine within minutes on an Nvidia shield
Great info! it worked

Thanks mate, you helped me get rid of the Pride ads from Disney... 👍
I am on the fence buying NVIDEA SHIELD TV PRO this ad issue is making me second guess buying it.....really hope this fixes it permanently
Like the new interface
Wow your a legend I hated the new look

Hello Love your videos do you have a video to show how to create custom title or tile on the old-style Google home screen. Not sure if it can be done on the new style Google layout.
Thank you so much 👍👍👍
Thanks. It worked great.
What's the best ad blocker for UA-cam for nivida sheild. What do u recommend.
This update made it even harder to go around settings,but just to let ypu know after i did the clear data on i got that tab uninstall the updates
The All 4 "watch next" items vanished! No idea what Google are doing, hopefully it will be added.
Welp....nice video but my shield switched back 30 minutes later lol
Me too
Man I ❤ you
😂😂 thanks for everything
😂my pleasure Alicia 🍻
Thank you😀
Is there a pop-up blocker for Nvidia shield? Idc about ads, I'm talking about annoying popups while browsing on the web .. thx
Works but soon as final restart. The main add comes back
I think it's a temporary fix. Nvidia really SOLD OUT. They gave Google more control and Google will be able to control more of what you can't install on your device. Just like the Cyberflix Play Protect issues going on now

A few months?? This update exists for 3 weeks

I don't hate the new one but I prefer the simplicity of the original user interface.
your instructions worked perfectly but now l cannot watch UA-cam. is there anything you would know about correcting that.
ive not got the nvidia but i have got an android tv with same layout and it dont bother me one bit but i have got disney plus netflix and prime

Hello to you!
I followed the instructions, removed the new Google update fine... But on trying to reinstall it, no luck, any ideas?
Just get used to it because it will return. Also Google have just removed the "uninstall updates" for Android TV home
I heard this and did njotice it when checking. So went to Android TV Home and updated the app and then I had the uninstall updates option again.
Hi I need help nvidia sheild pro the main home page keeps changing from the standard screen to having the loco down the left hand side any ideas
I followed the directions, but as soon as I enable play services and reboot, the ads come back
It sucks, it’s intrusive I hate ads
I hate the new interface. I hate it more because I wasn't given an option to install it. If I block it now and it returns later, Shield will be tossed into the trash.

i just activate the new device, but there no option to uninstall the android tv home app, what can i do?
