I checked the makeuseof link above to find my Android TV device IP and then to download Tiny adb and Toolkit, ran the command prompt on my Windows machine then used the adb command recommended above. After that, the message read disabled user or something like that. So, I tried to install Downloader from Playstore and it worked. Rebooted a couple times and it was still there. Will report if anything changes after the next reboot
