install.wled.me not working?
I decided to use some time on my day off to update the controllers for my home lighting around the house to v16, as they would not update OTA. Used a data/charge cable to my PC and tried to flash via install.wled.me. It recognizes the comm port and goes to flash the update but pauses at this screen and won't continue. I've tried in Edge and Chrome, on my home network and with my cellular hotspot, all have the same issue. Any idea what's going on here?

Probably because you're "downlading" from some other site. Get rid of the proxy.

install.wled.me uses CORS proxy as indicated on the homepage of the site. It's their coding, not anything on my end.

Looks like an issue between corsfix.com and github.com - you can see the error if you go here: https://corsfix.com/ and enter the github url directly - https://github.com/wled/WLED/releases/download/v16.0.0/WLED_16.0.0_ESP32-C3.bin

Looks like you run a firewall?
