The facebook admin mentioned that the update deliberately blocked out Save Wizard? What did they mean by that? What are the possibilities that there is no work around and what happens if no work around is found?

Good thing I opened up Save Wizard earlier and have my PS4 offline. Otherwise I'll have to shell out $200+ just to get my old PS4's HDMI fixed to keep using Save Wizard. Hope they can crack it soon though for the unfortunate that upgraded.

Question: how do I prevent my system from updating but still have access to play my downloaded games? I was online, and now everything is locked unless I update. Anyway to circumvent this, or am I SOL?

why users did not make their psn account as "primary user for this system" prior to update
that way you can still play digital games offline

by going to Settings > PlayStation Network/Account Management > Activate as Your Primary PS4 > Activate.
