How to Force Close an Apple TV App Using the App Switcher To truly close an app, not just exit it, or to quit an app that's not responding as expected, you can open the App Switcher and close the app there. Here's how: * Double-click on the TV/Home button.   * Use your Clickpad to scroll through all open apps until you find the app you want to close.   * Swipe up across the Clickpad to close the selected app.   * Click the Back button until you return to the Home screen. How to Restart Your Apple TV If you cannot get the App Switcher to open or the app will not close, you may need to restart your Apple TV. Try pushing the Power button on your Siri Remote, then pushing it again to turn your Apple TV back on. You can also restart your Apple TV from the Settings app: * Open the Settings app.   * Select System.   * Click Restart. Make sure NOT to click Reset: doing so will clear all your apps and data. If your Apple TV is completely frozen and you cannot get it to restart, simply unplug your TV, wait for a few moments, and then plug it back in to restart it. This may fix any issues you were having with uncooperative apps.
