KD-55XD8599 Problem since Marshmallow update

Hi all.

 

New to the forums so please excuse if I've posted in the wrong thread etc.

 

Basically, since my TV updated to Marshmallow around 2 weeks ago I've been having an issue with apps running and leaving a faded square box in the top left corner.

 

Sometimes it's smaller but sometimes can r half the screen.

 

Happens only on Apps (Netflix, Amazon, Kodi) and not on any HDMi channels.

 

Seems to happen possibly 80% of the time and I've not found a way for it to stop.

 

I've reset the TV to factory settings numerous times and also restored with current firmware that i downloaded from the Sony site and flashed using a USB stick.

 

Also I've ensured that all the apps are up to date via Google Play Store.

 

Can anyone confirm wether this is a one off in my case or wether the issue is more widespread?

 

I've attached a few sample images for you guys to see.

 

Many thanks.IMG_20170319_234053.jpgIMG_20170319_234101.jpgIMG_20170319_235356.jpg
