EDIT:

So according to this thread, this is a Google related change and not Nvidia?

In which case, similar to the banner issue from a previous update, you can get a different launcher (see comments for FLauncher) to avoid it

Is there a good alternative to Google TVs? I recently bought a TV and absolutely hate Google on it.

I have a media server, is there a way to install a launcher for my TV that can access Netflix, YouTube, Plex and other services?

I find LG TVs to have the best user experience. If you care you would want to look into a pi-hole to stop all the usual phoning home activities.

Lol omg LGs user experience is better? It's like it was designed by a toddler infused with meth, liquid capitalism, and hatred for graphic design.

Their settings suck, their remote sucks, their software sucks, their apps and app store sucks. The only thing LG does right is make the actual panel.

My personal experience has been the opposite. I have a C8 so maybe the software is different but I've found the settings to be decent, the remote to be far and away the best (magic remote) as you can use it like a mouse. Especially when you have to input something, rather than furiously mashing directional buttons to navigate the keyboard you just point and click. All the apps I use work great. The UI is responsive especially compared to the typical TV that runs Android which just feels like a massive lagfest. The software store does suck! Luckily I rarely use it after the initial setup. You can put apps in whatever order you want and quickly switch between them.
