What changed

Day 3 Mon 2026.10.26

  • All installed TV apps now update every night at 3 AM. If the TV was off then, the update runs later, after 30 minutes without input.
  • Connections to LG servers are now blocked. App store connections are allowed during app updates.
  • The voice input process cannot create its lock file, so voice input failed to start after a cold boot cleared the file. The lock file is now created before the process launches.
