How to update apps on the NVIDIA Shield TV


The NVIDIA Shield TV has been a silent hit since its launch in 2017. It's a mini-PC that allows a customer to access official games on the system, or even use it for unofficial means.

However, they have a wide variety of apps that can be accessed through the Google Play store, as the OS runs on Google's Android in the background.

While a new UI is here in place of Android, it can be a touch confusing in discovering how to update the apps.

With that, here's how to update apps on the NVIDIA Shield TV.
