How To Speed Up Your Amazon Fire TV Stick

You may need to wait a few seconds longer for an app to open. Otherwise, you will temporarily crash a menu while scrolling. Get Support for your Fire Stick with our Amazon Fire Stick Customer Service Portal.

If your Fire Stick feels a bit slow and lazy, what’s the problem? And how can you fix it to speed up your device? Read on to find out.
Why Amazon Fire TV Sticks Go Slow
Usually one of the two things causes the problem:
- An overheated device.
- A device too bloated.
- Unluckily, Amazon Fire TV Sticks frequently experience overheating. It is a known problem that many people complain about.
- If the Fire Stick gets too hot, the Wi-Fi component is the most vulnerable part of the hardware. Therefore, if your device often loses connectivity, overheating is probably most likely the cause.
- Even if your wireless network is still connected, overheating may cause the device to reboot. First, you will see a warning message on the screen. If this does not resolve the problem, it will restart. If problem persists, Contact Fire Stick Service website.
What to do to Make Your Amazon Fire TV Stick Run Faster
In this context, let’s take a look at some settings that you can turn off to reduce the CPU load on your device, lower the temperature, and make your Fire Stick run faster.

Turn Off the VIDEO AND SOUND AUTOPLAY
By default, your Amazon Fire Stick uses the ‘Featured’ section on the Home screen to play videos that your algorithms assume might interest you. The videos are played in an endless loop.

Disabling this feature significantly reduces CPU utilization. To do this, go to Settings> Preferences> Recommended content and uncheck the option Allow automatic video playback and Allow automatic audio playback.
Turn Off APP NOTIFICATIONS.
There are some types of notifications in Fire TV sticks. Amazon Appstore generates notifications about application updates and other services, while the applications you install can also generate notifications. They usually inform you about current news or new content.

You can disable Store notifications by doing following:
- Go to Settings> Applications> App Store> Notifications.
- To disable notifications from other applications on a case-by-case basis, go to Settings> Preferences> Notification Settings> Application Notifications.
DISABLE AUTOMATIC UPDATES
Automatic updates serve an important purpose. They make sure you always have the latest firmware and security fixes.
If this option is activated, updates can be performed at any time in the background. If you turn off automatic updates instead, you can take control of the process. Book at some point if you do not see anything and do the update manually.
To disable the Automatic Updates,
- Go to Settings > Applications > Appstore > Automatic Updates.
- Note: You should always make sure that you are running the latest version of the device. If you disable updates, do not forget to check this.
