You may try it. For me, since your current firmware version is a few versions away from the latest one, it would be better to do the firmware upgrade in a ladderized manner.

Hi CharlesB89,
Welcome to the community! :)
Let us upgrade the firmware to the latest version in a ladderized manner. First, upgrade the firmware from v12.0.4.8 to v12.0.4.9. Then, upgrade the firmware from v12.0.4.9 to 12.0.6.6 and so on until you reach the latest firmware which is v12.0.7.10. You can download the M4300 firmware versions here. Perform a factory reset on the switch after upgrading the firmware to the latest version then reconfigure the settings from scratch in order to start clean using the latest firmware version. Then, check if you will encounter the same problem.

Question, can I just upgrade the firmware from 12.0.4.8 directly to 12.0.7.10?
