Sorry for the delay, two kids with gastro :$
I cheeted, I used my partners Win11 desktop, installed the XBox accessorys app, update completed in about 4 minutes. I have had success with windows based firmware update tools using wine in the past; with a lot of troubleahooting. Her PC is 2 meters from me and it was done in 4 mintes… Yes I feel dirty, but it’s a one-off firmware update. Pick your battles.
Sorry to hear that. My 1080 works just fine and I use it daily, but that’s using the legacy navidia drivers. I assumed the newer cards with the newer driver would be in a better state. What card do you have?
