i want to update the firmware on my dualsense controller and installed the necessary app on a vm. it opens but when i plug in the controller the app seems to crash. i tried uninstalling and reinstalling and rebooting but it keeps crashing. does anyone have any potential fixes?

Try passing through a whole USB controller (chipset) instead of using USB emulation.

I'd try passing through a single USB port first though, as the above has some requirements to work that your system may not meet, but it's the best solution if you need it regularly.
