Latest Software Update, single tap on home button forces assistant.

[Jim Thornburg]

So I got a system update the other day (I don't remember when), and after that whenever I single short tap the home button, it forces an assistant (either Google, Cortana, whatever). At first my only fix was to close all apps and then it would show my home screen. Then I had to add the assistant button which gives me a virtual home screen button. Has anybody else had trouble with this, and is there a fix? Or is this a time to start yelling at Samsung to push a fix? Or is this Samsung's way of annoying us into buying the S9?

My Tab S2 did this when I updated it to nougat last year, I took it as an excuse to factory reset because the update also introduced problems with split window.

It's a software glitch, have you tried clearing cache?
