● Ensure that you have not configured any wallpaper settings on Wyse Management Suite. This is applicable when you are
running ThinOS 9.0.1136 build and want to upgrade to 9.0.2081 build. If the wallpaper is configured simultaneously with the
ThinOS 9.0.2081 image, the wallpaper fails to download and an error message is displayed. However, this does not affect the
upgrade process. Dell Technologies recommends that you disable the Wallpaper settings first, upgrade to 9.0.2081, and then
configure the wallpaper again.
NOTE: Dell Technologies recommends that you upgrade ThinOS version 9.0.1136 directly to version 9.0.3030 from
September 9, 2020 onwards. Do not update ThinOS version 9.0.1136 to version 9.0.2081 or 9.0.2108 after September
9, 2020 as it may result in certificate failure.
