An LG QNED90T whose apps will not open, crash, do not appear in the Home screen or have vanished has a software, network or account matter in nearly every case, and the TV's webOS 24 platform offers clear steps. This 2024 Mini-LED LCD gets its apps from the LG Content Store, and each app has its own login, its own version and its own server. When one fails, the cause is often in the app's service or version, though the TV and the network matter too. Start with the simple steps.
The checks in more detail
Close the app and open it again. Restart the TV: switch it off with the remote, unplug it for a minute, and plug it in. Check the connection: in Settings, Connection, check that the TV is online, and run the network test; an app that cannot load is often a network problem, so test another app and the TV's browser. Check that the date and time are set automatically, since a wrong time stops secure services. If the app asks for a login, sign out and in again. Then update.
In Settings, Support, Software Update, check for a TV update and install it, since app compatibility depends on the webOS version. In the LG Content Store, check for an update to the app; on webOS, apps update automatically if the TV is online, and a manual update may appear in the store. If the app is broken after an update, delete it and reinstall it from the Content Store; this clears its cache. If an app is not in the store, it may not be offered on this version of webOS, and you can use another route:
cast from a phone, use AirPlay 2 from an Apple device, connect an external streaming device, or use the TV's browser. Clear the cache of the TV: in the Home screen, edit the apps and clear the data of the failing app where offered. A DNS change in the network settings, to a public resolver, helps some apps load. If an app fails on every network and after reinstalling, check the app's own service status and contact its support; contact LG with the model number for a system fault.
