Board: M0
IDE: 1.8.3 with all latest the libraries
OS: Win 10 Pro, 32 bit, US
I am having some serious issues with an Arduino M0 when it comes to uploading. I have tried to uninstall all Arduino and reinstall with all the latest the libraries but nothing seems to help. I can upload to the M0 board on another PC with W10 Home, 64 bit, US.
I can see the board on COM10 in the Device Manager. But still the programmer is not responding. I have also tried to remove the driver and install it again. During the reinstallation of the driver the board is often only recognized as a USB device without any Arduino identification. I then manually navigate to the correct driver and installs this one.
Below is the output from the IDE.

I have searched high and low and came across this link Arduino Sketch upload issue - avrdude: stk500_recv(): programmer is not responding - Stack Overflow which made me try to press the reset button on the M0 board while the IDE tries to find the COM port. Then the below happens.

avrdude done. Thank you.
As it can been seen the IDE suddenly sees the board on COM7. If I then changes the COM port to COM7 and tries to upload again, but without resetting, the problem is back and the first dump is the case again. Another reset does not reveal a third COM port.
If I show hidden devices in the Device Manager I can also see
- Arduino M0 (Bootloader Mode) Native Port (COM7) - hidden
- Arduino M0 PRO Native Port (COM9) - hidden
- Arduino M0 Native Port (COM10) - visible
I have no idea where the "Arduino M0 PRO Native Port (COM9)" comes from.
Any ideas?
