How to fix "Google Play Services won't run unless you update it"? My device is a Sony Xperia Z and it's running Android  5.0.2. It prompted me to update my Google Play Services, and when I followed the notification it delegated me to the Play Store to update it. However it would seem it is already updated.

My current version of Google Play Services is 7.8.93.

The notification keeps coming back and I can't seem to find a solution. How do I get rid of this notification permanently? 

Here's a look at the notification :

Each time I have reset my phone, exactly the same thing happens. I cannot update individually only Google Play Services as it goes into an infinite loop of popups saying that you cannot Update until you Update.

The solution which worked every time is to go to the Google Play Store into the Apps and Games (sometimes called differently depending on the version) and doing a Update All. Obviously, it may update more than you want but that is the only reliable way that worked on Android 7.0. Hopefully, this can work (or some similar steps) for your version too.
