Why is this happening?

Long story short, newer versions of VEXos are not compatible with older versions of PROS. The cutoff was at VEXos 1.0.13 and PROS CLI version < 3.2.0. Many users are now finding out that their older version of PROS (< 3.2.0) and newer version of vexOS after being mandated to update to 1.1.1 for worlds and other tournaments aren’t compatible.

How do I update my controller?

Assuming your brain is now up to date via the VEXCode utility, you can plug your controller into your brain and it should start updating.
