S95B Auto updating after 1448.1

[TylerTHere]

After manually updating my S95B to 1448.1 I've noticed that almost every time I turn my TV on, it likes to force update itself now. This is extremely invasive to the experience of your tv and frankly, considering the track record of your updates breaking things, instead of fixing them, this is the final straw to owning another samsung tv for me. Get rid of the forced updates. Fix the broken game hdr settings. Add some new settings like the "active tone mapping settings".

This tv has steadily declined since release. Nobody should have to buy a new tv YEARLY to avoid your forced obsolescence.

Sorry to hear your having problems 😔 I'm trying to figure out why this is happening to you? Are you saying that you can not turn audo updates off ?

[TylerTHere]

I prefer to manually update my tv, so I already have auto update off. My problem is that after "manually" updating, the tv now trys to update itself almost daily, even with auto update being off.

Which is a problem, when most updates for this tv, need a little bit of research to avoid any bugs and broken features.

Ok got it go to www.samsung.com/support and download the version of choice to a thumb drive that way you can change back and wait for a fix. I left screen shots of how just in case. Also, you might try doing a manufacturer reset of your tv I know it's a pain but I'm not having that issue so I'm wondering if the update file was corrupt 🤔

That's actually how I updated to 1448, I guess it's my fault for updating early, but I'm waiting for an update that fixes the tone mapping in game hdr, but 1448 doesn't change anything for that. I may try a reset at some point.

Yeah the unfortunate risk for us tech heads that want everything now is bugs. I truly hope it all pans out for you and you get to enjoy your tv again soon my friend 😊

Much appreciated, this was my first High end tv and was hoping for a more consistent experience from a 1500$+ product. I'm still enjoying the tv though, I just have to jump some hurdles to do so.

I just updated my S95B to the new firmware and I am having the same issue.  The TV checks for updates every time it's turned on.  It's a bit annoying after spending money on this.  Hopefully samsung can fix this one before it's released to the public.
