      Under settings...advanced...system updates (there is a slider there to enable night time updates).

      I remember back a few years ago when everyone complained Sonos only did quarterly to semi-annual updates and "weren't keeping up with the changing market".

      Fully agree. And lately it’s only about removing functionality.
      I’ve “locked down” my system by removing the Sonos app from our iPad’s and iPhone’s and replacing them by SonoPad and SonoPhone respectively.
      Luckily I’ve done this before the iMac controller update, so I’ve still all functionality.

      Not sure why you have problems as the updates normally take a few minutes with no problems for me. Although the latest update has a new setting that allows it to auto update overnight so you may want to look into that.

      Are there that many updates? Not sure how often you use your system if it happens 70% of the time. Or are you on the Beta programme?
