NVIDIA Shield Google Account disappeared, no option to log in

by christmas_ape

Hi everyone,

I have been using the NVIDIA Shield for years now. Yesterday out of nowhere I went to watch YouTube and it said “login”, I thought weird but ok. I click on “log in” and the screen goes dim for a second and then just goes back to the same screen “log in”. I went into Settings and accounts and my google account is not there and when I click Add Account I can only add “shield” and “NVIDIA”. I clicked on the assistant and it said to log in and clicking on it does nothing. I went to the App Store and it says log in and clicking on it does nothing. I went to system apps and cleared data for “Google”, but nothing changed. I have no idea why this happened or how to fix it. But there is no way to log into a google account. Any ideas short of a factory reset? Thanks!

idk about your shield but when I had this issue on a phone it was the google services that was the issue not the google app. it might be in the app list on the shield though. my issue was my version was way too old
