what esp32 board do you have ?
I recently had a similar issue and found the solution here by chance. Take your ESP32 without any connection done to it and do the following:
press and hold the BOOT button on the ESP32 then plug in the USB cable from the ESP32 to your PC. You should hear the connection sound from your PC and then see a proper USB port. If it does not work at once press the RESET button a couple of times and repeat the procedure. I have 5 different ESP32 boards which I thought that they are burnt and with this procedure I got them back to life .

Try a different cable or connect to another computer. I see here what you are explaining. Many times for me it works then quits. It happens mainly with the ESP devices.

Hi @vishwjeet1231. Please add a reply here on this forum topic to tell us which Arduino board you are using.

Please be as specific as possible, as some Arduino boards with similar names have significant differences and the forum helpers can only provide effective assistance if we are aware of which one is being used.

If you aren't sure how to describe which board you are using, you can provide the link to the online product listing you bought the board from and we'll proceed based on the information found there.
