If nothing else helps, formatting the memory disk with code 010101 should help.
From "the manufacturer's web site (shaogecnc.com):
If an error occurs after upgrading, please enter in factory mode, 000001, to restore the factory state.
If the overall system disk speed is slow after upgrading, please format the memory disk. The factory mode code is 010101. Note that the memory disk data will be cleared.
For newer versions (upgrade from 4.0.2 to 4.0.6 for example), just a couple of reboots seems to do the job. I suppose these upgrades have no changes in the memory card files.
PS. According to some of my early photos of my controllers, firmware version 4.0.1 (2020-9-1) has "AutoGM" written correctly in the Machine Configuration menu. The typo "AtuoGM" could be a more recent upgrade in 4.0.2 (2020-10-10) and newer versions... It would be nice to have these small typos corrected, but even more important would be to have some instructions and explanations for the many unknown functions and menu entries! And there are still a few buttons in the front panel which seemingly have no use...
