Install MK3S firmware without PrusaSlicer?

The firmware updater tells me "flashing failed" for all 3 com ports.

The log says "timeout communicating with programmer. Could not open port: COM5"

When I rescan, it sees the MK3 as com 5. I also tried all the other com ports, same result.

In Octoprint, the firmware updater fails as well.

Is there a setting on the printer that could cause it to fail? 

Is there a way to upgrade the firmware without PrusaSlicer?

Thanks, everyone!

For anyone having a similar problem, this is how I solved it, and was able to update my firmware.

I restarted the computer, and restarted the Raspberry Pi connected to the MK3S. Then all was right as rain.

Tech support often starts with "reboot your machine" so I should have known better.
