:red_exclamation_mark: Normally, Arduino IDE offers to auto-update when a newer version is available. However, due to a bug , Arduino IDE 2.3.5 does not have an auto-update capability. Please download Arduino IDE 2.3.6 from the "Software" page of the Arduino website and install the downloaded file: …

[image] ptillisch: And when I enable the debug logging that would give me some idea of what is happening, I can no longer reproduce the fault. That may mean (99% of cases) that multithreaded application (IDE) is accessing shared resources without any locking mechanism. At least from my softw…

[image] ptillisch: I also experience this problem sometimes. Unfortunately it seems to only occur intermittently and under specific conditions, I experience freezes since 2.3.4 : either complete freeze (usually when IDE updates something in bulk , like toolchain or libraries) or partial freez…

Windows 10, Light Theme, yes it was white blank. Do you have "debug" builds of Arduino IDE with all verbose output turned on? I'd like to install one so whenever it freezes I can copy IDE's debug output and send it to you. I had strong feeling that it is connected to multiple file operations perf…

Arduino IDE always automatically generates log files while it is running, so no special debug build is required. The next time you encounter this problem, please provide the latest log file from your computer. It might contain information that will help us to identify the problem. …

Looks like a solid maintenance release. The auto-update bug in 2.3.5 was frustrating, so it’s good they fixed it in 2.3.6 even though we have to install this one manually. The other fixes—especially the sketch association issues and the IDE stealing focus—should make everyday use a lot smoother. I’v…
