If your Apple TV is malfunctioning here is the solution to it

How to reset your Apple TV to factory settings

The above approach (restarting, you might say, rather than full resetting) simply turns the power off and on again, but when the device starts up again it will still have all the same apps, settings and on board. What if you want to completely reset your device and restore its factory settings? This can be a far more powerful - albeit drastic - way of fixing persistent problems.

To restore factory settings, you need to go into the Settings on your device (which means you'll need either the official remote or another way of navigating the interface such as an iPhone with the Remote app).

On the newer (2015 or later) models, go to Settings > System > Reset. You can now choose either Reset (which simply restores the Apple TV to factory settings, and is the quicker option) or Reset and Update (which restores to factory settings and then installs the latest version of tvOS, which takes longer and requires an internet connection).

The process is the same on older Apple TVs but the terminology/labeling is different. Go to Settings > General > Reset, then choose between Reset All Settings (the equivalent of Reset above) or Restore (the equivalent of Reset and Update, although it will be 'Apple TV software' getting updated rather than tvOS).

In both cases you should make sure the device is plugged in throughout the resetting process.
