i am really frustrated with my new sony x900e. i’ve had it for maybe three months now and it’s so slow! are all smart tvs like this?

when i first got it i downloaded a lot of apps cause i was excited but i quickly deleted all of them and just kept a few like the essentials: hbo, showtime, hulu, netflix and spotify. did downloading all those apps in the first place slow down my tv? i also connected my 1tb hard drive to the tv to watch some videos but it took forever to read my drive (probably shouldn’t have done that). did that affect my tv?

when waking up the tv, it takes forever to get to the main menu and it’s said “leanback launcher has crashed” or sometimes along those lines. watching youtube “error has occurred” pops up when watching videos and even videos are laggy.

are there some tips to recovering the speed on my tv before i resort to a factory reset? thanks!
