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?

Edit: I accidentally solved the issue when I had to install VC runtime 140 for something else. The app started working without issue.

Could you pass through a USB port or a hub instead of the device itself?
