Arduino mkr wifi 1010 making usb sound, when pressing reset button or uploading

Official Hardware MKR Family MKR WiFi 1010

I recently bought a Arduino mkr wifi 1010 from Arduino MKR WiFi 1010 — Arduino Official Store

When i tried to upload the Blink example, the computer made the usb unplugging sound two times and the usb plug sound one time, and shortly after the sketch is uploaded, it writes this error message:

[/error message]

but the sketch is still working (the board still blinks).

Also when i press the reset button on the board it also makes the usb unplugging and plugging sound.

I use a Windows 10 x86 pc
and have tried with different usb cables and ports
I have also tried to update the Mkr 1010 firmware and tried different IDE versions.

I don't know what to do, i hope you can help.

Edit: Sorry, it is Windows 10 x64.

This is the expected behavior. Some of the new Arduino boards have native USB. That means the device handles the USB communication itself. Have a look at the schematic. When you upload a new sketch, the device switches mode and uses a second USB endpoint (kind of a virtual connection) for the download. After download, the device is reset, and the USB connection is restarted.

On old Arduino boards USB is handled by a separate chip that stays connected all the time.

The Arduino IDE sometimes has issues with the USB endpoint being switched because Windows will use a different COM port number. You just need check the connection setting before you activate any COM port related stuff (download, Serial Monitor).

Another issue that can happen is that you kill the USB connection in your sketch. You then need to double click the reset button to set the board to download mode and you can reprogram the Arduino.

To better understand the behavior, have a look into the device manager. And click the reset button once and twice a few times. You should see the COM port being enabled and disabled and switching between two COM port numbers. On is the programming mode and one the normal mode.

You might ask why Arduino would do that. Simple, they can save a second chip on board and you can create native USB devices with this.
