Garmin Update Loop Due to Sync Lag with Cloud Servers

Confirm this cause by verifying that the device has successfully performed a wired synchronization with Garmin Express. The issue is present when the device firmware is at the latest version, but the cloud-based server account has not received the 'handshake' confirmation from the device to clear the update flag. This is the most common cause, confirmed when the device itself shows no available updates under Settings > System > Software Update, but the server-side dashboard continues to broadcast a pending update notification.
