The change log suggests that the update also removed the WPS function and that the Settings menu was also redesigned. The full changelog for firmware update 6.7115 for all compatible Sony TVs is listed below:

  • Combines the video, album and music apps in the media player app
  • Note: After the update, only the music and media player apps are displayed in the app menu, but all of the content of the video, album and music apps.
  • Adds support for HEVC 100 / 120Hz for USB video playback
  • Removes the WPS function
  • Adds support for the menu tree for Android 9 Pie Setting

Sony notes that this is a staggered rollout and it may take a while for all TV models to receive it. The company recommends leaving the Automatic Software Download option enabled to ensure a smooth transition when the update hits the TVs. To enable this option, press the HELP button on the remote control, then select System Software Update> Automatic Software Download. Alternatively, users can choose the USB flash drive method if they don’t want to wait. Instructions are available on the company’s website.
