I accidently flashed over the bootloader on my Arduino MKR WiFi 1010 when I tried to add it to Zerynth. It now shows up as a "Genuino MKR1000" in the device manager in windows.
How can I flash back the original bootloader?

I can't help you but does it really matter what device manager tells you? As long as you can upload, you should be OK.
Ah, maybe I didn't make that clear : P
no after the bootloader was flashed over I can no longer upload any sketches to the device.
Did you try double click the reset button to put it into BOOTLOADER mode on a new COM port.
Then try selecting the CORRECT board and just upload the BARE MINIMUM sketch from examples.
No guarantee but it may get you out of trouble.
Also moving you to the correct section.
Could you also take a few moments to Learn How To Use The Forum.

Nice, that helped! Not sure how logical that is but at least it works : )
It worked because the board has two COM ports as described in the stickies.
Putting it into bootloader also prepares it for a bootloader update which can occur during an upload.
