The Android Nougat update was released for the HTC 10 in Europe earlier this week and unfortunately it looks like the update has now been put on hold.
HTC paused the update earlier this month and then resumed it this week, although it looks like there are still problems with the update.
For HTC 10 users in mainland Europe, we’ve unfortunately had to pause the rollout as we look into a technical issue and work to correct it.

Technical Issues and User Impact
The decision to pause the update rollout was not taken lightly. HTC has identified a technical issue that could potentially affect the performance and stability of the HTC 10 devices. While the exact nature of the problem has not been disclosed, it is clear that the company is prioritizing the user experience and device reliability. This pause is a precautionary measure to ensure that the update does not cause any unintended issues for users.
Technical issues during software updates are not uncommon. They can range from minor bugs that affect specific features to more significant problems that can render a device unusable. In the case of the HTC 10, users have reported various issues, including battery drain, connectivity problems, and performance lags. These issues can significantly impact the daily use of the device, making it crucial for HTC to address them before resuming the update rollout.
Communication and Future Updates
HTC has been transparent about the situation, with Graham Wheeler, an HTC executive, providing updates via Twitter. This level of communication is essential in maintaining customer trust and ensuring that users are informed about the status of the update.
Please stay tuned as I will post again when it starts back up. Thanks for your patience—I expect it to begin again up in Feb.

As yet there are no details on exactly when the update will be released again in Europe, all we know so far is that it will be some time next month. This delay, while frustrating for users eager to experience the new features and improvements of Android Nougat, is necessary to ensure a smooth and trouble-free update process.
Android Nougat brings several enhancements to the HTC 10, including improved multitasking capabilities, better battery management with Doze on the Go, and a more refined user interface. These features are highly anticipated by users, making the delay even more disappointing. However, the promise of a stable and fully functional update is worth the wait.
In the meantime, HTC 10 users are advised to stay patient and keep an eye on official channels for further updates. It is also recommended to back up important data regularly and ensure that the device is in optimal condition for when the update finally resumes.
