If you run the K3 Utility and the KPA500 Utility, download the latest
from Elecraft and install same. Also while you have those utilities up
and running, do a back-up of each. The current version for the
KPA500 is 1.54 and for the K3S is 5.67 for the MCU. I'd say both of
your items are needing updated.
I get about 1 update per week from Microsoft and I have that installed
at my choice.......when I'm asleep. Although I don't use it, I'd also
say that HRD is likely in need of updating as well. I try to keep all
of my software and systems updated. Things run much smoother in that regard.

I got my K3s (#10323) back in October, 2015, and got my KPA 500
(#2664) a few months later (I have the full K line including the KAT
500).
When I built them, I promptly updated the firmware, and haven't done
it since. I checked and my K3s has Firmware Version 5.35 and the KPA
500 has Version 1.38.
Am I missing anything by not having updated? I haven't done it
because I am maddened by the constant crazy updates forced on us by
Microsoft, Firefox, etc. (when I turn on my computer, I want to USE it
- when I turn it off, I want it to shut off, rather than update for
another 10-15 minutes), and just hate updates in principal. However,
I noticed that the interface between the K3s and my Ham Radio Deluxe
software is getting a little glitchy (sometimes, the software insists
the radio isn't there, even though I've checked the cable), and I
wonder if that is a function of needing to update things (and yes, I
should probably update the Ham Radio Deluxe software). This
glitchyness is the only problem I experience, and otherwise, my setup
works great.
Thoughts? What am I missing?
