IDE 2.0 does not see any ports

Development Tools IDE 1.x

Notes:
Complete noob.
Windows 10
IDE 2.0
Keyesstudio UNO clone

I get a green light LED on the board but cannot see ports in the drop down tools menu. Can anyone help?

Hi @dparduino1xdf. Make sure the USB cable is completely plugged into both the Arduino board and the PC.

If that doesn't help, you may have a damaged/defective or charge-only USB cable. Try a different cable.

Either of the above can result in the power connections being made (and thus LED lights on the board), but no data connections (and thus no port for the board).

Thanks for the reply.

I found that I needed to download a driver for the CP2102 USB to UART Bridge VCP.

My device is now connected and recognized.

I'm glad it is working now. Thanks for taking the time to post an update with your solution.

Arduino Uno shows up in Windows Device Manager but IDE 2.0 can't see any ports. I would attach my Arduino IDE log but new users are forbidden to add attachments.

Hi @caeintegration. Your account has been promoted to the next "trust level" with the forum software. The restriction on making attachments should now be lifted. Please do provide the logs.

That was very helpful. I see the problem here:

2022-10-14 08:12:00 daemon INFO {"level":"error","msg":"Discovery builtin:serial-discovery failed to run: discovery builtin:serial-discovery process not started: fork/exec C:\\Users\\Chris\\AppData\\Local\\Arduino15\\packages\\builtin\\tools\\serial-discovery\\1.3.2\\serial-discovery.exe: %1 is not a valid Win32 application.","time":"2022-10-14T08:12:00-04:00"}

Which version of Windows are you using @caeintegration?

Windows 10 Pro Version 21H2
My Windows 11 laptop behaves similarly.

I think your installer is corrupted; I have a 0 byte file here. I tried both your EXE and MSI downloads yesterday with similar behavior so I think they both have this problem.

This file is not installed by the installer. It is installed by the Arduino IDE itself the first time you start it up. I just did a reinstall and it worked perfectly.

Please try this:

  1. Select File > Quit from the Arduino IDE menus if the IDE is running.
  2. Delete the folder at the following path:
    C:\Users\Chris\AppData\Local\Arduino15\packages\builtin\tools\serial-discovery\1.3.2\
  3. Start the Arduino IDE.
  4. Wait for the IDE to finish starting up.

This will force the IDE to reinstall the serial-discovery tool. Does the problem still occur when you do that?

It came back at 0 bytes so I went into Acronis Cyber Protect to disable my security and found the file in quarantine. I restored it and it is working. Thank you!

Great work on finding the solution. I had a suspicion it might be that, but you were way ahead of me!
