I am facing issue of port disconnection when I try to upload the sketch. I am using IDE 1.8.11 hourly. I have tried resetting, using different USB ports but as soon as I press "Upload" the port gets disconnected on Windows 10 OS.
Error
"Couldn't find a Board on the selected port. Check that you have the correct port selected. If it is correct, try pressing the board's reset button after initiating the upload."

Make sure you have selected the port of your Arduino board from the Tools > Port menu.

Sometimes the port will be labeled with the board name in the menu. Other times it will not. If you don’t know which port is your Arduino, you can find it like this:

  • Unplug your Arduino board from the computer.
  • Tools > Port
  • Note the ports, if any, listed in the menu.
  • Close the Tools menu
  • Plug your Arduino board into the computer.
  • Tools > Port - The new port listed in the menu is your Arduino board.

please state what Arduino board you have.
and if you have been able to upload to in before.

Yes it is Arduino Leonardo. I have not been able to upload any sketches before

I see the port fine before I press the upload button.

Try this:

Start an Upload.

Watch the black console window at the bottom of the Arduino IDE window. As soon as you see something like this:

Sketch uses 444 bytes (1%) of program storage space. Maximum is 30720 bytes.
Global variables use 9 bytes (0%) of dynamic memory, leaving 2039 bytes for local variables. Maximum is 2048 bytes.

press and release the reset button.

Unless you have a VERY good reason not to, use the latest release of the IDE, not hourly builds. And if you must, definitely not hourly builds from 14 days ago, that defeats the whole purpose of doing so...

Have you tried using another USB port on the PC?
What does Device Manager say about the port?

11/11 is actually the most recent hourly build. They only do a new one within an hour of there being a new commit to the arduino/Arduino repository.

But I very much agree that the hourly build should generally only be used for beta testing, since they are more likely to have bugs than the standard releases.
