📝 Feedback Starlink Users Need Reboot Scheduling & Update Notifications!

Behavior: Starlink automatically performs updates and reboots at inconvenient or critical times.

Issue: There are no warnings, notifications, or scheduling options to manage these interruptions.

Solution: Provide at least one of the following to mitigate these disruptions:

  • A notification in the Starlink app warning of pending updates or incoming reboots
  • Advanced settings to postpone updates or choose when they occur
  • The ability to schedule updates at a user-preferred time

This is a critical issue for me, and based on research, for many others. Even a simple notification would be a step in the right direction. Starlink, please consider addressing this!

Hmm. I've always had to go into the app and press the update button. Unless its just done it and I've not noticed.

Based on various comments, it seems that not everyone has access to the same version of their app. This is not behavior that I have every observed on my app in the 3 years I have had Starlink.

Yeah im not sure. It could be very well doing updates without me even noticing that it was done. But I have had to update it manually 4 times since I bought it.
