I have connected my Nvidia Shield to my LG TV to play my favorite games. I am able to access Google Chrome, but the app stops abruptly. What can be done?
Hi @Benjamin..!!
To fix this issue, start by clearing the cache and data for the Google Chrome app on your Nvidia Shield. Ensure both the app and your Nvidia Shield are updated to the latest version. If the problem persists, try reinstalling the app. Lastly, make sure your LG TV’s firmware is also up to date and restart both devices.
