I have updated my firmware many times over the years with the Firmware Updater plugin. This morning when I tried to update I see the error window "Flashing failed, Flash Method is not properly configured," I'm not sure what has changed to cause the error.octoprint-systeminfo-20220317150748.zip (15.5 KB)
Have you recently reinstalled OctoPrint?
I reinstalled this morning after this failure and have the same error. I used the backup I made a week ago to restore it
So you will have to reinstall avrdude to flash the firmware:
# Flashing an Atmega (AVR) Board with Avrdude
All AVR boards can be flashed using avrdude. Many boards have a bootloader installed which allows flashing via the USB port, but some boards will required hardware such as a USBasp or other In-System-Programmer (ISP).
You will need to know how to configure avrdude to flash your board before you can flash it with the Firmware Updater plugin. If you do not know what settings you need you maybe able to find out from a user community or forums for your printer/board.

## Avrdude Installation
To flash an ATmega-based board the tool `avrdude` needs to be installed on the OctoPrint host.

Thanks!! Installing Arvdude did the trick. I have to make some sort of reminder to install that whenever I reinstall Octopi
