Latest Firmware update

I successfully updated to the newest firmware. Then when I entered my Wii Fit U disc, it said “Preparing update” and went to “Downloading update to system memory” with options “Wii U Menu” and “Start software”. So I actually could still go to the game itself. It happened again when I changed the disc into Mario Kart.
