Either download the updates or turn on airplane mode. If it’s not connected to the internet it doesn’t know there are updates waiting

First, I noticed you already made a thread about one question so I would highly recommend you post any new questions in this thread rather than making more new threads: https://gbatemp.net/threads/switch-noob-paradise-ask-questions-here.488277/

Secondly, from this thread (https://gbatemp.net/threads/list-games-required-firmware-version.485959/)
1. First make sure you cancel the upgrade!
2. Then press the power button and hold for about 5 seconds
3. Choose power off
4. Hold down VOL+ and VOL- and pres simultaneously the power button
5. Choose update but do not update... instead cancel the process!
6. Shut down the console and restart normally

Thirdly, please consult the pinned threads and/or try searching for your problem beforehand

this is what i dont understand, it is not on internet and airplane mode is on but i still keep getting it.

Nsp or Xci? It must have been connected at some point for it to know about the update.

@Draxzelex I think the OP means game updates not a system update bud.

If your switch has ever been online it would appear it downloads somesorta master list of game updates etc.. so it knows even when your offline what games need a update

i tried it but when i go to update it says i need internet. Do i need to be on internet to start download and then cancel? would have preferred not having to connect at all

For me, i just select not to download and my xci will launch. Its annoiying but not to bad, I have updated a couple xci's by going into ofw and connecting to net but I am not worried about being banned.

The only time im forced to update and it wont let me launch is my xci of botw, i think because i have played a legit cart with saves from a higher version however.
