Samsung QN95B missing menu home bar?

[Prototype89]

Hey people, hoping someone can help.

I have two other Samsung TV's which when I press the home button on the remote control (smart and regular) it will display a menu bar across the bottom of the screen with a list of input sources and apps.

I've just picked up the new QN95B which when I press the home button on the remote takes me to a cluttered hub page with loads of different thumbnails for different apps etc. I can't for the life of me work out how to disable this cluttered home page and bring back the bottom menu bar instead.

I've contacted Samsung who had no idea how to help even though I showed them the problem on a video call. 

I've found a number of webpages which say if I turn off AutoRun Smart Hub then the home button on the remote will show the menu bar instead the next time I restart the TV, but this doesn't work.

I'm at my wits end, does anyone have any idea how to fix this??

Hi there, I have the exact same problem on my new QN85B, and also tried the same things and can't find a solution anywhere. Did you ever figure out how to get the home bar menu back?

Hey there, after much research I discovered that this was a deliberate change by Samsung to introduce a home screen. They actually got rid off the old one for good 😞

Ah that's annoying, what a weird choice for Samsung, the old home bar was so much more efficient. Thanks for taking the time to reply regardless!

No problem!
