Hi @sfcsarge.

This error indicates you have not installed the Windows drivers for your Arduino board.

Arduino IDE automatically installs the drivers as part of the Boards Manager installation of support for the board. However, the driver will only be installed if you provide approval, which is requested via a Windows User Account Control (UAC) dialog that is displayed during the installation:

Do you want to allow this app from an unknown publisher to make changes to your device?

dpinst-amd64.exe

It might be that the driver is missing because you did not approve its installation at that time.

The solution will be to reinstall the "Arduino Mbed OS Giga Boards" platform, making sure to approve the driver installation offer:

  1. Select Tools > Board > Boards Manager... from the Arduino IDE menus to open the "Boards Manager" view in the left side panel.
  2. Find the "Arduino Mbed OS Giga Boards" entry in the list of boards platforms.
  3. Hover the mouse pointer over the "Arduino Mbed OS Giga Boards" entry.
    You will see a ●●● icon appear at the top right corner of the entry.
  4. Click the ●●● icon.
    A menu will open.
  5. Select "Remove" from the menu.
    An "Uninstall" dialog will open.
  6. Click the "YES" button in the "Uninstall" dialog.
    The dialog will close.
  7. Wait for the uninstall process to finish, as indicated by a notification at the bottom right corner of the Arduino IDE window:

    Successfully uninstalled platform ...

  8. Click the "INSTALL" button at the bottom of the "Arduino Mbed OS Giga Boards" entry.
  9. If a "User Account Control" dialog about "dpinst-amd64.exe" appears, click the "Yes" button in the dialog:
  10. Wait for the installation process to finish, as indicated by a notification at the bottom right corner of the Arduino IDE window:

    Successfully installed platform ...

After you have done that, try uploading the sketch to your Arduino board again, just as you did before. Hopefully it will be successful this time. If not, please let us know and we'll provide further assistance.
