Apps keep disappearing, YouTubeTV keeps automatically adding

Starting about a week ago, our Rokus moved to the new Quick start look (which is awful). But worse than the new look of the UI, we’ve found the many (not all) of our apps keeping getting removed every 1-2 days. Not just getting removed from the Quick Start, but from the list of apps available on the Home Screen.

Worse yet, the YouTubeTV app (which we don’t have a subscription for or use), keeps getting added.

This isn’t a matter of not using certain apps, we use Disney+ every day but it keeps disappearing (along with 4 other apps).

I can’t find a way to address this in the system settings. Chatting with the Roku support bot was no help. Has anyone else encountered this and fixed it? Or is this just a byproduct of the recent software update in August 2026?
