Ok, for an update. The old firmware was still available on the Nikon website. I was able to download it and reinstall it in the camera. (the first time I tried it it didn't work). It did reset all my settings in the camera so I had to reset everything in the camera but my Viltrox lenses now work so I am not updating again until that issue is resolved. Thanks everyone for your replies and help. Hope this helps anyone from who was thinking of installing the update and who has some Viltrox lenses.

I know this is too late to help the OP, but before I installed the latest 1.40 update on my Z Fc bodies, just to be safe, I did the "Save/Load Menu Settings" option, which is found in the SETUP MENU" This should give you a backup of all? most? of your customized settings. You would need to do this on an SD card that was NOT going to be used for the new Firmware update.
In my case, the latest Firmware update...1.40, which will support the new 12-28mm Power Zoom feature...went on with NO issues and all of my previous settings remained as I had hoped. Still...better safe that sorry....!!

Thats a good idea I had never thought of. I finally did get my Viltrox lens updated and they work fine with 1.40 now. Thanks.

Glad you got everything working again. There are lots of these "little-used" features on current digital cameras, it's just very easy to forget about them. I know that some "pool" camera users...wedding photographers for example, where multiple cameras might be used by different people use a 'master' setting card to insure that all their cameras have the same configuration.
