New version 2.3.0 has lost the ability to access sketches on a network share!!!
Version 2.2.0 was ok.
Also still cannot get any giga boards to be recognised on W11 desktop.
Even W10 is un-reliable and so frustrating. Considering going back to 1,18.x but unsure if the giga boatds will work in that version. I have large sketch projects that were working on mega boards in V1.18.x but now I had to extensively edit the scripts with hundreds of library file errors before they partially compiled in V2.2.1 but cannot reliably upload them.

That is partially why I have not switched and do not plan to do so in the near future.

Hi @lensman11.
Please provide details about this network share and the exact procedure you are following to access the sketches.
Due to a bug in the Eclipse Theia framework Arduino IDE 2.x is built on, opening sketches from UNC paths has never been supported by the IDE (including in 2.2.0):
However, you can open them from network drives. I just verified this still works fine for me even using Arduino IDE 2.3.0.
Please provide a detailed description of what you mean by "recognised".
It is not expected that the use of a different IDE version would cause this.
When people report things like this, what we often find is that the true cause is that different versions of the boards platform and/or library dependencies of the sketch are installed in the environments used by each version of the IDE.
I would be happy to investigate this problem, but I'd need more information to get started on that. I suggest you start by preparing a minimal sketch that compiles in Arduino IDE 1.x, but not in Arduino IDE 2.x. Once you have done that, post the sketch here as well as the full and exact text of the errors you get when compiling it with Arduino IDE 2.x.
I have a similar history with lots of Mega sketches going way back, but I certainly didn't have to re-code them to work in the new IDE 2.x.x, they mostly just compiled straight up. Sometimes a libray update requires a tweak, but nothing major.
Have finally fixed this [touch wood] - eventually found a forum entry that stated that a release of the Giga R1 boards came out with either incorrect or no firmwear installed!!!!!!
On 2 seperate boards I had 2 different issues.
Windows 11 OS.
1: Both boards not showing as any form of USB device.
2: Eventually ???? was able to see a DFU appearance which allowed me to update firmwear..
Windows 10 OS.
Was very unstable - dropping COM ports and not compiling ANY Giga examples.
Am currently programming and compiling OK on W11 which is most required so here's hoping..
Regards Colin.
Now happily working as expected - see post above.
Regards Colin.
Great job on finding a solution. Thanks for taking the time to post your findings!
