EDIT:

So according to this thread, this is a Google related change and not Nvidia?

In which case, similar to the banner issue from a previous update, you can get a different launcher (see comments for FLauncher) to avoid it

Is there a good alternative to Google TVs? I recently bought a TV and absolutely hate Google on it.

I have a media server, is there a way to install a launcher for my TV that can access Netflix, YouTube, Plex and other services?

I find LG TVs to have the best user experience. If you care you would want to look into a pi-hole to stop all the usual phoning home activities.

My issues with LG TVs is they're 1) still missing support for the ESPN app which is a big deal if you're into sports and 2) only allow casting to them from a white-list of sites. So your can't just stream anything from Chrome on your computer and cast to the TV. If the website isn't white-listed, you're out of luck.

I've also had issues with pihole interfering with the TV too. Not a pihole expert though so I'm trying to figure out how to work around it.

Have you tried casting your computer to the TV? With Win+K you can share everything and click around with your remote.

It's what I do when I do it, but I don't have any kind of device for that stuff.

I wish I could do this but I don't have a Windows OS. I wish it had ChromeCast built in because fucking Pixel doesn't even support MiraCast!
