I solved the issue and this is how.
After lot of research and dozens of suggestions I decided to try something simple first.
My Samsung UE39F5500 was connected directly to the Internet, no cables apart from the power.
I opened the back of the TV and made sure everything was properly connected especially the highlighted part on the image. (shows how technical I am).
Problem solved.

I unplugged it last night but forgot to remove the cables and i know what you mean about a software issue as it looks like the top part were the drop down menu pops up.
