Google will not work on my Samsung Note 10 after update this morning

[MissHopper]

I've tried all the tips and tricks for making this work, but my phone is running hot and nothing google related works at all. My phone had a series of updates yesterday through last night and now anything google related won't work. What can I do?

Hi @MissHopper 

If a soft reboot by turning the phone Off and On does not work then look in Settings > Apps and make sure nothing to do with those Google Apps are showing as disabled.

If not then clear the phone's system cache file's partition.

Thank you! I ended up having to do a factory reset after an hour of tech support walking me through every forseeable troubleshoot. I will keep this in mind to try if (and I so hope it doesn't) again
