After experiencing the com port changing after upload on the Nano 33 BLE Sense, I found this post from May of 2020:, "Windows 10 com port changes after uploading program". I was going to basically reply and say I have this problem too, but since it was last replied to over 120 days ago, the forum had a note suggesting I create a new post instead.
The May 2020 post describes the behavior quite well, but it did not have a resolution at that time.
My question: is there a solution to this problem using the Arduino Desktop IDE now?
