Apple TV update caused missing apps and internet issues

Not really a question more like a complaint to see if others feel my pain. Currently using 2 of the latest Appletvs. Installed the latest version on one, got off to a rough start. The time remaining increased to 56 hours and counting, no jokes. Eventually I decided to do a restart the device and try again. Boom, update was completed successfully. Kool. On to the next one. Started fine, completed the upgrade quickly, no issues. Then when I went to the home screen, no App Store app, some other system app missing, banner says no internet with a warning sign even though I’m using a stream app, vpn app starts no connection. Just jacked up. Only thing I haven’t tried is factory resetting the device and man I really don’t want to do that. Thanks for listening.
