My M11 update was smooth and uneventful following the provided instructions. I did not have to reset the date and time. But the ‘USB Charge” option changed from YES to NO. My guess is they wanted to make sure the battery was used for the update.

I downloaded the update file from the link in the email I received from Leica. Drug the file onto a freshly formatted SD card, inserted the card in the camera and performed the update. The update took about 3-4 minutes. Side note: before the update started it asked if I wanted to save my profiles to the card. I selected YES. After the update the profiles were restored.
I have just upgraded from my M (Typ 240) to a brand new M11 and immediately installed the latest firmware 1.6.1
Sadly, I still had two occasions today, where the M11 froze. I have not yet been able to make out any particular camera settings that might lead to the bug. I suspect it is to do with the live view.
