EOS R6 after Firmware upgrade to 1.6 I face autofocus challenges

I have upgraded my EOS R6 to firmware 1.6, since the upgrade I face some challenges with the autofocus 

1. Sometime the system cannot focus at all

2. The face and eye detection are not working as it was before the upgrade

3. The option to force the system to focus on specific object has changed (not in a good way)

Camera reset has resolved the autofocus problems

The reason why this happen is because after you upgraded your firmware, there was added things in the software that can not communicate properly with the hardware and programing in the chips, because of the change in the firmware when you setup stuff in your menu the menu has changed and so the camera has no idea what the settings table is talking about, so to fix this just reset your camera to factory settings and start over and reset everything the way you like it and it will run better then ever..
