Over on the Nvidia Shield forum there are many issues with the 9
experience. There is even a hotfix you can sign up for already and it
will be pushed out. the release notes on the hotfix don't sound like
mine, though.
I would love to know how to roll back to the last 8.* version I had. The
current state of my Shield is unusable. I'll be switching to my FireTV
or Raspberry Pi 4 until this is fixed. Yesterday was so frustration, I
considered hitting the Shield with an sledge hammer so I would not be
tempted to mess with it any more. It's good when it works, but they have
never solved the Matching framerate issue.
