Fix for Kontrol Mk3 firmware update on Windows

Me too!! thanks from me too

Thank you so much for this guide, worked like a charm!!!

For people, who are wondering about the long update time, it took my computer about 1 hour and 45 minutes to update my keyboard.

after Windows intially properly updated the drivers, this method finally work for me !!

Very happy, I've had that keyboard for over 10 days now, ubb C PD problems to get it started and then that firmware... Boy oh boy!

figers crossed for the rest! :-D

YO LISTEN

I got this working, but the OP is wrong

First of all, try to update the firmware, and get the error.

Find the driver as stated in other devices.

The driver you need to update it with is in serial bus devices, Native Instruments, and your NI model/ DFU

Now DO NOT CLOSE the updater

Hit retry!

Universal Serial Bus Devices are hidden by default, under the view tab click show hidden

You can do this any time in device manager.

Thank you all guys, I managed to update my new keyboard with your instructions, shame on NI tho, not what I wanted to go through with my new expensive toy.

I was able to update my Kontrol S49 MK3 via my Macbook, but my Windows 11 machine still isn't detecting it when I plug it in. The keyboard lights up, so I know it's receiving power (and I would think data, as well). I've fully updated my Windows machine, and it's now on Windows 11, version 23H2.

Any ideas why it still wouldn't be detecting the keyboard...? Seems like this would be an easy fix if the drivers were posted online so I could directly download them and ensure that's not the issue here, but I'm open to any solutions.
