Follow the TV's instruction to restart after an update has finished downloading and installing. LG notes that some network updates are applied when the television restarts, so the displayed download progress is not the whole process.
Why this happens
Download, installation and applying an update are separate stages. Interrupting the device can create a more serious problem than the original player fault.
Work through the steps
- Confirm the update has completed its installation stage.
- Read the TV's restart instruction.
- Restart only through the documented procedure when it is safe.
- Check the software version and retry the original player action.
What to avoid
Do not unplug the TV while an update is still applying. Use firmware and instructions for the exact model rather than another LG television.
Know what changed
The TV should report the intended software version after startup. Test the affected feature afterward instead of assuming the update confirms streaming-account access.
