Amazon Silk Browser - Best Web Browser for Firestick/Fire TV

Have you tried going to the app store finding Silk, and seeing if you can update it? I assume you’ve done a complete power cycle on your stick where you unplug it from everything including the TV and leave it for a few minutes and then plug it all back in and see what happens. If it’s still on your device it should show up in apps>system apps and you can start it from there. Also give sideload launcher a try.
