Most Projectivy Launcher problems have boring causes and quick fixes. Work through this guide from Projectivy Launcher setup home in order, and check after each fix instead of changing five settings at once.
Home opens the old launcher
Open the launcher and accept the default launcher prompt. If no prompt appears, open the TV system settings, find the home app choice, and select Projectivy Launcher. This single step solves the most reported setup problem.
Slow navigation
Switch to a still wallpaper, trim extra rows, and restart the TV once. Older hardware benefits most from a lean layout, and video wallpapers are the first thing to drop when navigation stutters. If the problem started after adding many apps, a shorter home screen is the fix, not a new TV.
Dead input shortcuts
Recheck the input on the TV itself, then recreate the shortcut pointing at the right source. Hardware support varies by model, so a shortcut that works on one TV may do nothing on another. Remove shortcuts for inputs with nothing plugged in.
Wallpaper looks wrong
Adjust brightness and contrast first, then saturation, then blur. A bright wallpaper in a dark room usually needs lower brightness, not a new image. For a deeper look at tuning, read our wallpaper guide, and for the full first-time flow see our setup guide.
Quick Answers
Why is my TV slow after installing a launcher?
A busy layout or a video wallpaper can slow older hardware. Use a still wallpaper and fewer rows, then restart the TV.
An app disappeared from the home screen. Where is it?
It is usually in a lower category or hidden by a layout change. Check every category row before reinstalling anything.
