A few forum members have said they would like this option.

I suggest that you make a request for this feature via the WiiM Home App, More > Feedback.

That has a few implications though - any support requests would probably be met with a request to update to the latest firmware to see if the reported problem persists, and it may also impact any mandatory security related updates which I guess are quietly dealt with within public firmware releases. I can see why some people want the option to decline or postpone updates but perhaps having access to the next to latest update alongside beta versions to allow rollback may put some control back in customers’ hands.

Even Microsoft let you postpone updates.

Yes, I fully agree with you on this matter, and wouldn’t use the option myself, but some people seem to think that it’s needed.

If anything I would like to receive frequent update than having toggle that I will never use.
