Is anyone else having a problem updating Z6 firmware to 3.60?

I think you mean 1.60. Mine updated without any issues. I'm a little disappointed that the update didn't include anything for the autofocus system. May have to wait for the rumored Z6iii.

This from the update site:

• Made the following additions to the [CUSTOM SETTING MENU]:
- Added [Always] and [Only when flash is not used] options for Custom Setting d9 [Apply settings to live view] > [On].
- Added d10 [Warm display colors]
- Added d11 [Image frame]
- Added g7 [Red REC frame indicator]
• Added [Finder display size (photo Lv)] to the [SETUP MENU].
• The [Prioritize viewfinder] monitor mode has been replaced by [Prioritize viewfinder (1)] and [Prioritize viewfinder (2)].
• Fixed the following issues:
- A drop in brightness sometimes occurred in part of photographs taken using a flash.
- In some cases, the OK button could not be used to interrupt the interval-timer or focus shift photography when the viewfinder was used.
- Focus could still be adjusted using the focus ring when [Disable] was selected for [Manual focus ring in AF mode] in the [CUSTOM SETTING MENU] if an option other than [Non-linear] was chosen for [Focus ring rotation range] in the [CUSTOM SETTING MENU].

No problem here. It's a very small update. What issue are you having?

yes, been waiting to see if it is just me. Nothing happens, no update recognized. I've done many updates over the years, from D800, D850, Z6 to Z7ii, so I don't think it is operator error.

Try saving to your computer's hard drive then down load the bin file onto your memory card (at the top level).

!.6 is the z6ii update and it is live on the Nikon site. Updated mine last evening and it appears as if the features are identical to those you have listed above to the Z6.
