Title: Updates Question - Navigating Away Requires a Re-Check
Post by: pSych0bUNny on May 16, 2026, 03:22:00 AM
I'm sure this has been covered before however trying to find the why searching for 'updat' or similar has returns a lot of results.

Curious as to why after I "Check for Updates" from the Firmware > Status, if I navigate to a different section - outside Firmware - in the FW, I must re "Check for Updates" again to reenter the update mode.

Can I trigger this manually?

If I subsequently click the Firmware > Updates tab, it shows there's an update, but does not enter the update mode.

I've tried clicking the release notes from Firmware > Changelog, but that too does not trigger the update mode.

It's not a major, just a funny mechanism - am I missing something?

EDIT: clarified issue
