How to do the thing

1. From the Shield home screen, launch the Google Play Store.

2. Scroll down to My Apps.

   

3. Any installed apps with an available update will be listed. Select Update All if you want to update all apps.

4. You may need to accept app permissions before installing.

   

5. Alternatively, you can select each app individually and select Update.

   

It's important to keep your apps updated so that you don't miss out on the latest features and bug fixes. For Android TV apps, updates aren't too frequent. When updates do roll out, it's typically a pretty substantial change to the UI and or other general improvements. NVIDIA does a good job supporting the Shield TV with the latest Android and gaming features, but some app updates might cause more issues rather than solving them.

In that case, you can follow the same steps to go back and uninstall the most recent update, which is really handy if something goes wrong with one of your favorite apps.
