The Fire TVs suffering from this issue are otherwise working fine, but it makes navigating the main Fire TV interface very difficult. This is also true for the app icons on the home screen and in the grid of all apps, but is not how the app icons in the Manage Installed Applications menu under Settings. Issues like these tend to eventually resolve themselves, but here are some things to try that has worked to, at least temporarily, fix the issue.
The first thing you should try to fix this issue, and any other issues for that matter, is to reboot your Fire TV. You can do so from the My Fire TV Menu under settings or by simply pulling the power cable out for a few seconds.
If this solves the issue, then note that restoring your previous VPN or DNS settings will likely cause the issue to eventually reappear.
Something else you can try is to reset the Fire TVs launcher home screen app. Your Fire TV may feel a bit sluggish for a few minutes while its launcher tries to repopulate all of its data due to the reset. Resetting the launcher with the ADB command above will not clear your apps or settings. It will, however, reset the customized order of apps that you had set. A final possible solution is to check how much free space your Fire TV has.
Alternatively, you can try clearing the cache of all of your apps individually to free up some space without removing any apps.
If any of the solutions mentioned above worked for you, be sure to let everyone know in the comments.
