Hi @MFC   You are already on the latest software. All you are doing is rebooting the box. There should never be a need to update the software, because it updates automatically. People have been complaining about that misleading text for over 10 years.

Hi @MFC   How do you know? Is it a case that your box no longer turns on?

Re: Can’t update software

No

i see message "software update required" AFTER having "successfully" updated.

It advises it will complete update after putting into standby (which I understand is switching off).

Thanks

Hi @MFC   That sounds like a message from your TV (not the Sky Q box). Use your TV remote. I would upload an image of the message if you are not sure.

@MFC 

The Q370 software update was / is still being rolled out. It's done in batches and usually on a Tuesday night into Wednesday morning. Mine had automatically updated this morning.
