Magento 2.0 Upgrade Status stuck saying 'update pending'

[jamieparkes]

If update is still stuck after running:

bin/magento setup:cron:run or 

bin/magento magento cron:run

or if bin/magento magento cron:run doesn't complete in SSH, php update/cron.php got the update going again for me.

Thanks @shameemalipk for the suggestion!

@NordicDev_Jonas solution seems to be working even for Magento 2.2.3.

Thanks mate!

why don't they update/fix this issue? you guys face this issue in 2017 and now in 2019 I am still facing this

[chris_mcilroy]

Still the same for me, 4 days now and I have been trying various things.

I do not understand why a basic things like this are still an issue - there is no error reporting to help!

Did anyone else find a better way to solve this one?

Hello,

I suggest you ways to upgrade Magento 2 installation

• Magento composer update. That is using Composer, a terminal command line program.
• Upgrade Magento from admin using the Web Setup Wizard.
• Copy the Magento 2 latest version over the old installation.
