I updated my Apple 4k (A2843) with software update 17.6.1 in order to get the video option “Quick Media Switching”. However after the update installed, that video option is not present. Is a factory reset required to enable this option?
I am aware of another person who has this video option running 17.6.1. But I don’t know how it was enabled to be visible in the menu.

“Quick Media Switching” would be available for TVs that support this, not for TVs that do not support this. Does the TV manufacturer list this feature for this TV model? What is the exact model TV in this setup? The first TV with QMS support was released in 2023 (by LG) — older TVs wouldn’t have this.
Any optional devices in between would probably also require HDMI 2.1 and support for QMS.
Quick Media Switching on Apple TV 4K (3rd generation) was available before tvOS 17.6.1, probably all the way back since the release of the 4K (3rd generation) model in 2022-11-04.
