LG TV menus work but one player keeps freezing

Practical steps, clear explanations and a useful place to start.

Determine whether only the player is stuck or the whole television is unresponsive. For a single-app failure, LG recommends checking the network and updating or reinstalling the affected application before a full TV reset.

Why this happens

An isolated app problem can involve its process, build or source. A working TV interface helps narrow the failure stage.

Work through the steps

  1. Close and reopen the player.
  2. Compare another online app on the same TV.
  3. Install available player updates.
  4. Retain setup details before a targeted reinstall if the fault continues.

What to avoid

Reset to Initial Settings removes accounts and installed apps. Do not use that broad action as a substitute for identifying one failing app.

Know what changed

The player should remain responsive during the same action that previously froze it. Record a particular title or menu trigger if the fault is reproducible.
