      Installing System and Firmware Updates for your HTC VIVE Focus Series Headset

      It's important to keep your HTC VIVE Focus Series VR headset up to date with the latest firmware and system updates. If not kept up to date, this can negatively impact user experience

      Your headset will periodically check for updates and may prompt you to install them when they become available. If you choose not to install an update right away, you can install it later in Settings. The following links provide a list of Focus Series firmware release versions:
      https://www.vive.com/release-notes/vive-focus-vision/
      https://business.vive.com/release-notes/vive-focus-3/

      Please note: Updating the controller firmware is done separately from headset system updates. In order to check for HTC VIVE Focus Series controller updates, go to Settings -> Inputs -> Controllers. 


      To install an update via Settings:

      1. If you're currently running an app, press the VIVE button on the right controller, and then select Back to Lobby.
      2. From the Lobby, select Settings.
      3. Select General and then select Update next to System update.
        Tip: If you don't see the yellow indicator, you can also select Check now to check for updates manually.

      To automatically install updates:
      1. From the Lobby, select Settings.
      2. Select General and then select Auto-update.
      3. Turn on Auto-update and then select a time for your headset to automatically update itself overnight. This feature only works when your headset is connected to a power source.
      Note: After an update has been installed, your headset will restart automatically.
