Nano RP2040 not in explorer

Hi
Arduino Nano RP2040 connrct can't be seen in explorer, but can be seen in device manager?
I have followed the guide for Arduino website, very carefully, but it's the same error every time??

thanks

Historically, you ask a question, then disappear for half a month, or never return.

If someone tries to help you this time, will you respond in a timely manner?

What error?

The error is that when I connect the Arduino Nano RP2040 to the computer via the USB port, it only opens in device manager and not in file explorer, see photo. No folder in file explorer.

I tried to install Micropython with MicroPython Firmware Installer but it doesn't work

se Micropyton link

Have you tried this?

Board Not Detected

Sometimes the board is not detected even when the board is connected to your computer. This can be solved through the following steps:

1. Connect the board to your computer via USB.

2. Place a jumper wire between the REC and GND pins on the board, then press the reset button.

Place a jumper wire between REC and GND pins.

3. This will open the mass storage device. You can now remove the jumper wire.

Thanks I will try that.

I have tried to do as you describe but it did not work. will only show up in device manager and not in file explorer
Thanks

Follow these:

  1. Do complete Uninstall Arduino IDE and then re-install the Arduino IDE (use Arduino IDE 2.3.6). Make sure that you install all the dependencies that shows up after the installation. If your machine is running Windows 11, grant the IDE admin right during installation.
  2. Follow this guide Reset the firmware on Nano RP2040 Connect to reset the board and then try to upload blink LED sketch example from the IDE to it.

Note: Make sure that the IDE is installed in the correct folder/path. Check Open the Arduino IDE installation folder

Hi again
Thanks for the suggestion.
I have tried your suggestion with Arduino IDE 2.3.6 and it works great, but it is in CC++
I would like to learn to program in micropython with
Arduino Lab for micropython and I know that Arduino Nano RP2040 can run micropython.
Many thanks
