I've had my Switch for 2 years and I'm most likely banned. I don't care that much but I used to have it offline then I connected it online recently to try one of those apps that lets you play PC games on your Switch and now I've got a metric shitton of games nagging me about updating every time I launch one. I tried resetting the versions in Tinfoil it doesn't get rid of the nag. So I'm just wondering can I just update the games while connected online or will I have to manually update them myself?

Edit: nm I think I got my answer. Get a server error when trying.

Manually, you are banned and cant update them online no more.
 
If the ban doesn't affect downloading updates, then yes, you can update your games in CFW. For those who aren't banned, it is recommended that one never connect to Nintendo's servers to update games on a dirty NAND used with CFW. If you want to update games on CFW, it is recommended that you either install the game update NSP using your favorite NSP installer, or you can automatically find and install updates over the internet using HBG. If the ban won't let you download updates, then you must use an NSP installer and/or HBG.
 
Ok I know this is drastic but I'm considering restoring a nand backup I made before i connected to the internet because before that I never had these update nags and I just don't have the space to update all my games. But will the nand restore make the switch forget it was online and not nag me to update games anymore? Nothing to do with being banned i know I'm banned, just regarding game updates nags.

I was on 10.0.2 when I made the nand backup and I'm still on 10.0.2.

I suppose in order for resetting required upd version to work, you need to avoid connecting to nintendo servers afterwards, otherwise the nag will return obviously. I just deleted a couple of updates and did a reset of required version avoiding ninty servers an everything worked, was able to launch those games without updates...

No I didn't connect to the internet again, it just wouldnt' stop the update nag. But I've solved it now so I'm moving on....
