Add "disable pretendo" to unable to update troubleshooting #2460

Pages with issue(s) Troubleshooting, in the "Unable to update" section

https://3ds.hacks.guide/troubleshooting Description of the issue(s) Disabling Pretendos patches fixed my issue of not being able to update. It seems like turning off third-party servers and switching back to Nintendo's official servers can fix "unable to update". However, it's not listed that turning off services such as Pretendo network can fix this issue. I ended up doing a CTRTransfer for no reason because of this. It wasn't until I talked in the homebrew discord server was I able to find out this was the problem.

I assume it isn't listed there because it's under finalizing. In theory, you wouldn't have Pretendo before doing that. It could make sense to add an unable to update section under Issues after Installation, but that might lead to confusion. Not sure if something like this is on the wiki already.

This issue happened when I was doing TWLFix. Maybe update TWLFix guide to include disable Pretendo if updates fail.
