I have Windows 7 and the driver for the mkr1010 won't install. I have ide1.8.5. Any ideas?
Does your system make the new hardware sound when you plug in the MKR ?
What does it show up as in DEVICE MANAGER ?
Have you installed the SAMD package with the board manager ?
Open the desktop IDE
Select TOOLS
Select Board then Board Manager
Wait until the list has updated.
In the "filter" box type SAMD
It will list the support package for the MKR series boards and you should install that.
When it has done you should close out the IDE and restart it
You may get a pop up asking to install a driver and if you do you should say YES.
Hello,
Same problem here; strange, as it already worked once, but as I encountered problems with WIFI connection (MKR 1010 not connecting to secured networks), I played around with the versions of the SAMD library, without success.
So I switched back to the latest version (1.6.19) and now I do not see the MKR 1010 board in the list
(Other MKR boards are there!).
Furthermore the Arduino IDE (1.8.5) says that there are updatable boards and libraries.
So I click on boards and it comes up with the Board Manager and the Arduino SAMD Boards version 1.6.18 now (!) and without (!) MKR 1010 in the list of included boards and there is no update button!
Best regards,
Reinhard
You do need 1.6.19 to use the 1010 boards IIRC.
Not sure how you played with the versions as you were not too clear but maybe you changed something without knowing it.
I would probably suggest a re-install of the whole IDE but also do a clean up before going any further.
Attached clean up instructions in case thats the way you go.

Hi Reinhard,
the 1.6.19 version of the SAMD boards is OK.
The processor is shown and it's the first in the list. The problem is that as soon as you click on that tab to look at the available driver versions, the MKR1010 disappear from the list. No way to have it back in the list until you close and reopen the board manager.
It's only a 'display' issue of the board manager. You don't need to reinstall anything.

Hi Davide,
somehow it re-appered.
Thank you for always working on my issues!
