Venu always asking for software update

Former Member

Hi - my Garmin venue is asking me to update software every few minutes.  I have read through the thread on here and have tried all solutions, but has not resolved.  I see it asked many times, what version of GPS are you on, but I cannot see where you find out that information?  If you could help me resolve this, that would be great, thank you

  • Please connect your Venu watch to a Windows computer and follow instructions below:

    1. Open File Explorer (Windows Key + E)
    2. Open Venu (shown as a removable drive)
    3. Open 'Primary' drive
    4. Open GARMIN folder
    5. Look for a file named GUPDATE.GCD (delete it if present)
    6. Open the RemoteSW folder
    7. If any file is shown there with the .gcd extension, delete it
    8. Close File Explorer
    9. Sync your watch with Garmin Express
