How do I update the iPad's software (iPadOS)?

Troubleshooting
iPad won't turn on or is unresponsive.
Ensure the device is charged. Connect it to a power source for at least 30 minutes. If still unresponsive, force restart by pressing and quickly releasing the volume up button, then the volume down button, then press and hold the top button until the Apple logo appears.
Wi-Fi connectivity issues (slow, dropping, or unable to connect).
Try toggling Wi-Fi off and on in Control Center or Settings. Restart your Wi-Fi router. Go to Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPad > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Ensure your iPadOS is up to date.
Applications are crashing or freezing frequently.
Close and reopen the problematic app. Force quit the app by swiping up from the bottom of the screen (or double-tapping the Home button if applicable) to bring up the App Switcher, then swipe the app upwards to close it. Ensure both the app and iPadOS are updated to their latest versions. If issues persist, try reinstalling the app.
