Sensor Hub Update

Is anyone having an issue where the Sensor Hub Update installs every time you connect your Descent to your computer? I have my charging cable connected to my computer, and every time I have connected my Descent for the last few weeks it has installed this update again, even though it was already installed.
  • I don’t have any messages reflecting any new updates, specifically the Sensor Hub.

    I experienced the same problem when I had a directory called Garmin on the root directory and the file GarminDevice.xml in it. When I deleted the Garmin directory, Garmin Express started to work as expected.
  • Might have to give that a try, I must have installed the update 6-8 times now. More of an annoyance than anything else. I will double check and see if that file is hanging around someplace.
  • I renamed garmindevice.xml and my Descent did not want to install the Sensor Hub Update the next time I charged it. However, that was a one time change and it is now prompting me to install this update every time I charge it.
  • Directory Garmin on Descent MK1 must contain file garmindevice.xml!

    I only had a problem when I had (on the root directory) the Garmin subdirectory and the file garmindevice.xml in it, on any of my PC's drives or any of USB drive connected to the PC at a time when Descent MK1 was (via Garmin Express) also connected to my PC.
  • Well you cannot delete the garmindevice.xml file, if it is not there it is recreated automatically. And that did not work anyway.

    Tech Support recommended I delete the device from Express, and then re-add it. Well that did not work either. More of an annoyance than anything else, but I should not have to install the same update over and over. So back into Garmin's court to come up with a solution.
  • Same problem here. My Descent is trying to update randomly. Cannot see a pattern. The update finishes always, and always successfully. Strange....
