Thank you for contacting us. Your idea is feasible, but based on the current information, we are unable to determine what caused it. You can provide a screenshot of the Startup settings page. We further analyze the possible causes.
You can also choose another way to meet the requirements of switching applications.
Another way to implement the functions you need is to bookmark Netflix and YouTube commands in both Activities, Activities ->edit ->Go ROKU YouTube Edit ->Keys favorites ->Normal keys ->Add command,.
After activating the Activity with the remote control, the commands in Keys favorites will be displayed on the screen of the remote control, and you can choose to switch applications through the screen selection
Of course, you can also directly assign Netflix and YouTube commands to the physical keys on the remote control (such as the red and green keys)
Activities - Edit - Go ROKU YouTube Edit - Assign commands for X1 Remote keys
