I hide some of my apps from the main app menu and now when i search for them to use them it shows the app but when I press it, the toast message says "menu not currently available". This is since the update yesterday. Anyone else experiencing this? And is there a quick fix? Now I have to unhide to use them which is annoying...

Open the settings for your applications and then go to the Samsung default applications and look for Finder Open the settings and turn on the option to show hidden apps and the error message should go away

Thank you. It didn't work by itself but I also changed another setting and it works now how it used to - now it shows the actual app. Thank you!!

I also have hidden apps but after my phone started to learn my habits with smart suggestions and the recommended application feature it remembers used apps

Can you tell me the other setting you've changed? I have exact the same situation since the last update and I can't get it to work with the Finder setting only. Thanks!
