I am not able to connect and upload code in my esp32 as my PC is not detecting any ports, i have tried downloading and installing the drivers which are availlable online but still didn't got any results,and also there are no any hidden devices in device manager where I can find the ports,
I am using a proper data transfer USB cable and not a charging cable, i also tried uninstalling and redownloading the software but still no results were found,there is not issue in my friend's PC and esp32 is properly connecting to his PC , only my PC is having the issue, please provide me a proper solution as I am not able to do my project.
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.

Hi @alwethinanis. I'm not sure I understand your situation. Are you encountering the "my PC is not detecting any ports" problem that is the subject of this forum topic?
I am currently watching a video on using the ESP Dev module. The presenter points out that there are two variants of the UART to USB chips, and therefore two different drivers. The options are ch340 or cp210x. I have the ch340 driver and have had no problems until now. I was unable to get the serial port on 3 different devices to be recognized. All three have the square chip which is the cp210x device. Per the video i downloaded the driver from Silicon Labs. With the cp210x driver installed the devices are recognized by ArduinoIDE, and communication is working now.
