My Meta quest three that I have had has been great best purchase, except for about a month ago. About a month ago when I was powering off my headset from playing it had an update, so like any other person I waited a few minutes. Then 20 minutes came and I was curious so I checked on it, and it was still updating so I waited longer. Then after about 3 hours I was too tired and went to bed. The next morning I woke up and it was STILL updating, so I got tired of it and just canceled the update now I know it may have not been the best option but hold on. Then two days later I tried it again and a hour goes by and still the update wasn't done. It has made it so I can't play any games on it and it sits in my room for now, when I posted this it is updating and I will leave it overnight to see if it does something new. I will stay in touch though I will look at this post every week on Sunday to see if anyone has a solution for this thank you and bye.
Same. For the last 4 days, my Quest 3 has asked me to update before shutting down. I click yes and I leave it charging and with a WiFi connection, but it takes it over 12 hours to update and shut down. I've had this happen a few months ago for 3 days straight, but now it's happening again
I can't believe this is the intended experience, so I think it's some sort of bug. I thought it could be that it doesn't fully update for some reason and I just don't notice it. However, there was a day in between when it didn't ask me to update before shutting down, so I've no idea what's happening

I had this happen the other day, and for me it was a pending controller update. Since I usually only use the right controller because I play Minigolf, the left was shut off, and the device kept looking for it to update. Once I moved it around a bit to wake it, the update went through. (I did cancel the shutdown and check notifications about what was happening - there it told me it hat updated the right controller, but not the left. That was my clue)
Hello @ninjhe I do believe the shutdown update taking long is a bug. When I encountered it, I turned off the wifi on my headset then powered it off. This skips the update and allows your headset to power off normally
Hi! I am currently experiencing the same! The controllers werent rensponsive, I'd see them but couldnt click. I tried restarting when this happened. Any advices how to solve it?

Hi. On the next day, the process was completed but as I still had no controllers, I changed the batteries and all was good. Untill the end of my game session, when I powered quest 3 down and another long update started...
The device was plugged in to charge the whole time.
