Since the last update, my Sentinel dashboard has been screwed up. If I go to the monitor function the dashboard just disappears. The event log shows errors indicating that the software is unable to read the temperatures, etc. So I want to re-install just the Sentinel software. Windows appears to be fine and I don’t want to go through bare metal restore from ISO process again. Can I run one of the executables in the software update download to initiate the update process?
I had a similar issue with one of the updates, certain tabs would crash the Dashbaord and some sensor readings did not function. Here is how I fixed it:
- Download latest update direct from the WD support site.
- Exctract the update to a folder on the Sentinel (I did the download and extract all over RDP).
- Manually re-run each *.MSI and *.EXE installer on the Sentinel.
- Most will give you a choice of Repair of Uninstall, always choose Repair.
- Some may give you only an install option, this is how I found the “damanged” installs.
After I went through all the installers and restarted the Sentinel everything has been fine. Seems the update sometimes just silently fails certain components and there’s no easy way to identify them.
