My S6 Lite hasn't gotten an update since June of 2022. Every time I try to do a manual update it first says "connecting to server" then it says "Registration Failed". I have my settings for automatic updates over wifi but it has never updated, thus it's still functioning with UI 4.1. Any clues as to why this is happening/not working?

I did a Gemini search, and I got this:
Google has officially ended support for Android 12 and 12L as of March 31, 2025. This means Google will no longer backport security patches to these versions.

It also says that Samsung ended security patches for android 12 in 2022... what type of updates were you trying to install?

But why did it stop auto updating in 2022, and I've tried repeatedly over the last six months or more to do a manual update, but get the same results. I really don't want to do a factory reset.

That might have been Samsung updates that ended in 2022, the core android ended this April

"The Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 and Tab S6 Lite will continue to receive updates, but the Wi-Fi/LTE models won't."   Your 2022 model probably is no longer eligible for updates.

What do you mean by Wi-Fi/LTE models? Mine is model SM-P610. I'VE even tried resetting the network.
