Sonos (on my Mac desktop and my iPhone and iPad) have lost the connection to speaker and wants me to reconnect…

 

So, on my Mac (running 10.x), it wants me to update to 11.0, which I let it do. But it is stuck (for 3 hours now) on Updating controller: Installing - the progress bar shows 100% (see screenshot). I have tried Force Quit the app, and starting again and I have rebooted my system , but I get the exact same problem.

Any ideas on how to solve this?

Perhaps try uninstalling the App completely, then reinstall from the link below and on opening, choose to connect to the existing system.

I have the same issue with getting stuck on the “Updating controller: installing”

I can’t submit a diagnostic report because it’s greyed out.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks
