iPadOS 16.4.1 paused
What is wrong with this update? I’ve been trying to install it all evening. It just says paused and won’t install. How do I fix this?

Keep your iPad connected to its Power Adapter throughout the update process. This will keep the WiFi alive. Also ensure that you have a strong WiFi connection.
If the update process remains stalled, try a forced-restart:
Force restart iPad (models with Face ID or with Touch ID in the top button)
If your iPad doesn’t have the Home button, do the following:
- Press and quickly release the volume button nearest to the top button.
- Press and quickly release the volume button farthest from the top button.
- Press and hold the top button.
- When the Apple logo appears, release the top button.
Force restart iPad (models with the Home button)
Press and hold the top button and the Home button at the same time. When the Apple logo appears, release both buttons.
After restarting the iPad, try the software update again.
