Updated, rebooted, still on v26: I guess it'll update to v27 in its own time. As long as it keeps working, it should be OK. Thanks, all.

That button at the top is one of the ones that has been disabled. The one in the middle of the screen works, and logging in again (without ever having logged out in the first place) seems to have worked, for now.
