Thanks for the great report, that's really helpful!

Did you install this Tails device via the USB image or via the old
installation method (.iso and Tails Installer)?

Did you update from 3.13 to 3.13.1 or from an older version?

Did you restart Tails at least once between installing and updating it
(or did you update on the first boot after the installation)?

I'm asking all this because we expect the second boot issue to occur:
* Only for Tails devices installed via the USB image
* On the second boot after *installing* Tails from a USB image (updating
should not have any effect)

Cheers
