Following the installation of the February 2023 software update. I’ve searched for the latest software update on my Huawei P40 Pro global version but it was still stuck on the previous patch.

The phone continues to show that there is no new update via phone’s updates settings. Then I plugged my device into the PC and installed HiSuite. Right after, the software collected March 2023 upgrade on the screen.
