Hi bigbet1,

For help with opening apps on your Apple TV, test the steps for a normal restart below found in the article here: Restart Apple TV - Apple Support

"Restart Apple TV

Do any of the following:

Press and hold both the Back (Siri Remote 2nd generation or later) or (Siri Remote 1st generation) and TV buttons on the Siri Remote until the Apple TV status light blinks rapidly.
Disconnect Apple TV from the power outlet, wait five seconds, then reconnect it.
Open Settings on Apple TV, go to System and select Restart."

You can also test the steps here: Switch quickly between Apple TV apps - Apple Support

If the issue continues, reach out to Apple Support directly to further assist. Get Support

Best.
