I have been using 1.8.5 for a long time with few problems. Yesterday Microsoft did a large update to my Windows 10 machine and now the IDE is having problems finding the correct port. I plug in my project to port 4 and can access it via the serial monitor. But when I try to upload my sketch, I get the response shown below. Tried different ports and always get the same kind of response. Power cycling the PC made no difference.
I used Device Manager and it said I have the best driver. Anyone else having this problem? Suggestions?
Thanks,
Rick
