The same goes for your Nintendo Switch’s Joy-Cons, though updating your controllers is slightly different from the console itself.
If you want to update your Joy-Cons to ensure they are also up-to-date and efficient, we can help.
How Do I Update My Nintendo Switch Joy-Cons?
To update your Joy-Cons, follow these steps:
From your Nintendo Switch’s home menu, navigate to System Settings at the bottom of your screen. Within System Settings, scroll down the left-hand side options until you find Controllers and Sensors. Enter the options for Controllers and Sensors and you should see each individual option for your Joy-Cons. Scroll down until you find Update Controllers. Select Update Controllers and your Nintendo Switch will begin updating each Joy-Con attached to the console itself.
It is important to note that your Nintendo Switch Joy-Cons have to be docked with the Switch console to be updated.
Utilizing the Nintendo Switch’s System Settings is also a useful way to ensure that every eligible feature of your Nintendo Switch console is up-to-date.
Things like ensuring your Nintendo Switch system and games are fully updated as well as your Joy-Con updates can all be found within System Settings.

Now with your Joy-Cons updated and ready to go, you can ensure that both your console and its controllers are up-to-date.
In terms of troubleshooting, ensuring your device is running on the latest software helps to limit the number of possible bugs and issues you may experience with your Nintendo Switch and Joy-Cons.
