Options after upgrade troubles/ revert?

Development Tools IDE 2.x
1

I made the mistake of upgrading a working IDE 2.0 platform to the latest rev today and now some of my processors (8266) no longer upload.

What are my options?

Can I revert to the previous version? This would be a wonder feature in the event
problems are encountered.

Can I delete the IDE and get the previous version?

Or just go back to 1.8.19?

edit;

I am confused as all get out now. After doing the new upgrade to the IDE when I check the Help About Arduino & it says 2.0.4 date 2023-02-27.
Now whenever I invoke the IDE a screen comes up saying Update Available.

Hi @edthewino. All the previous versions of Arduino IDE 2.x are available for download from the releases page on GitHub:

  1. Open the "Releases" page:
    https://github.com/arduino/arduino-ide/releases
  2. Scroll down until you find the version you want to download.
  3. At the bottom of the entry for that release, you'll see an "Assets" section. This is an expandable section of the page, so if it is collapsed, click on it to expand:

  4. Click the appropriate download link from the list under the "Assets" section.
    For example, if you are using Windows, you could click the "arduino-ide_2.0.4_Windows_64bit.zip" link for the ZIP package of Arduino IDE 2.0.4:

  5. Wait for the download to finish.
  6. Install the downloaded IDE as usual.

Thank you.

Even though I upgraded earlier today the "Update Available" screen keeps popping up for 2.1.0

skip version --- not now --- Download

It downloaded a file and I went thru the Install process as it prompted me. ????

You are definitely still using 2.0.4 there.

So what happened?
I went through the upgrade process and everything went without a hitch after it downloaded the upgrade files and I was prompted thru the install. I also rebooted.

I dunno....

Something is not configured correctly....

Please try it again in case it was a one-off glitch. If the update fails once more I'll investigate further.

At least you now know that the upload problem you had is unrelated to the use of 2.1.0, since you haven't used that version.
