Hi,
I am afraid I have to ask again.
On my Arduino IDE 1.8.13 the network ports (~5 differents, all active on the same WiFi SSID)
disappeared again.
I see only the com ports...
What must I do on the IDE to get OTA network ports visible again?
I'm not aware of anything that needs to be done on the Arduino IDE side of things. It's all a matter of running the sketch on the Arduino boards that makes them discoverable as network ports and then connecting those boards to the same network as the computer the IDE is running on.
For example, here is the procedure for the ESP8266 boards:

Thank you, but I have 5 ESPs connected with OTA to the same WiFi SSID that were perfectly shown and disappeared now from the IDE of my main laptop.
My Raspberry Pi's Arduino IDE 1.8.8 on the same network shows them up.
Something must be broken at the IDE, but what?
Edited: this is NOT the cause!
In fact I was victim of this infamous Windows behavior:
Windows 10 WiFi bug.
The WiFi system tries to connect to other WiFi networks and the removed flag "connect automatically" keeps setting itself on its own on every alien WiFI discovered, What a security flaw!
*Normally the situation stabilizes after max a minute and the own WiFi is reestablished. *
But THEN the Arduino IDE wont recognize network ports.
My successful workaround was to run on admin CMD:
"netsh wlan add filter permission=denyall networktype=infrastructure"
then
"netsh wlan add filter permission=allow ssid="my SSID" networktype=infrastructure"
so it connects ONLY to my own SSID.
*But that weird thing drove me mad for two weeks. *
I have filed an issue on Github: the Arduino IDE should take the available network at least on the time of its own start, not at boot time!

Oh NOOOO is comes again!
That drives me crazy!
When the ports are missing, I get this info on the bottom of my IDE:
Of course the target is well present and has always the same else working OTA code:

How can one dig further to know WHICH error on 192.168.188.76 the IDE is complaining of?
Thank you for any hints that could help me to come closer to a solution.
Restarting the IDE
Logoff logon,
Restarting Windows,
Nothing of that helps.
Complete shutdown, full reboot helps... for a few hours.
