Updated my Sony TV XE8505 to a new Androidtv OS - how to use the multitasking window to close apps now?

by Kiraa7

I have the Sony XE8505 and today got a message that a new update is available. I did it and the OS changed a little bit here and there, the home screen looks different now. with the earlier version I could hold down the "Home" button to get a multitasking sort of view in which I could close all current apps. This wa suseful because if I had like 3-5 apps running at the same time (netflix, Youtube, tv, all still open) it slowed the TV down. So I made it my habit to always close apps in a regularly time.

With the new OS update I dont get this screen anymore when holding down the Home button on the remote, so does someone know how to do it now?

You have to open the App info page (by holding the OK/Select button on the app tile) and Force stop the app from there. The multitasking menu is not available in Oreo update.
