Apple Mac Studio display update failure

After I updated my Mac Studio to the latest iOS 13.3, I continued with the update for the Mac Studio display. After it downloaded and started installation, I decided to take a break. When I returned I found that I got an error symbol and a website to go to to remedy the failure. I unplugged with thunder drive cable, and that didn’t work. I unplugged the power cord to only the Studio Display and then re-connected it. Still no change. Since Applecare is closed on Saturday night, is there anyone who can tell me how to resolve this issue?

I just returned from my local Apple Store. Everything is beautiful now. 😉 The tech had to restore the Studio Display after a brief diagnosis. He told me that sometimes a software update download doesn't go right or that there could have been a wifi interruption of some type. He had to perform a 10 minute SOFTWARE REVIVE, as my emailed receipt shows. Since the Studio Display is under warranty, there was no charge, of course.

As a note to everyone, including Apple, that suggests to disconnect the power cable or Thunderbolt cable for whatever period of time, those approaches don't always work. It didn't for me, hence the need to go to the Apple store for a revival of sorts.
