Unable to update controller firmware

I have been unable to update the firmware in my Gamesir G3 controller to address the Breeze yaw issue when attempting to pan the camera down. I open the update app on my laptop, hold down the Y and R1 buttons, connect to my laptop, wait 2 seconds, and click on Auto Update. Nothing happens on the scroll bar, but I eventually get the upload succeeded message. I've tried different USB ports (I have a mix of USB 2.0 and 3.0), different cables, even running in Windows 7 and 8 compatibility modes (I'm running Win 10 64 bit). I opened a case with Yuneec and they told me the same thing all the forums have been saying, so no help there. Tried calling, but they are shut down for the holidays.
 
I was finally able to update the firmware in my controller. Had to switch to another computer. Camera now pans down in controller mode, but I did have some issues with the Breeze overshootinging its minimum height restriction and hitting the ground (fortunately not hard enough to cause damage). I also noticed that the displayed height was higher than the height at which the drone was hovering. Not sure if I have to re-calibrate, as I have noticed this recently.

were do you find the update app?
 
I just returned my Breeze to Walmart - until I could figure out all the faults - I had 7 days but with a fight eventually winning ... it’s one thing to buy something that doesn’t rely on software to make it work- and it’s another to have to figure out all that is potentially wrong with something you don’t assume has any issues - yet they still sell things and leave the consumer in the dark
 
So many would like to know where the updates are located. Seems to be a secret. How about someone help us all out and post the page / link so we can all have a look. Thanks.
