I have searched through a lot of posts and have not been able to find an answer.
I have a genuine Arduino Uno Every. I have the latest IDE installed, installed the MegaAVR boards package through the Boards Manager. When I plug in the Nano Every, it does not get a COM port assigned. In windows device manager, it shows up under Ports (Com and LPT), has a number assigned (5), but also has a black arrow meaning it is disabled. When I right mouse click and click 'Enable", device manager flickers a few times but the port stays disabled. In the IDE, I can not select the a COM port.
Windows 10 by the way. Does anyone have any ideas? It has all worked in the past, but IT had to restage my machine and I am now starting over.
I have tried multiple ports, multiple cords, multiple Nano Everys. My Uno works without any problems.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
UPDATE: The Nano Every is working on my Mac, so I know the cable and Nano Every are good.
The Arduino IDE automatically runs a driver installation process when you install the Arduino megaAVR Boards platform for the Nano Every. I'll suggest you try triggering that process as a possible easy fix. Please try this:
Select Tools > Board > Boards Manager from the Arduino IDE's menus.
Wait for the update to finish.
Scroll down throught the list of boards platforms until you see "Arduino megaAVR Boards". Click on it.
Click the "Remove" button.
Wait for the removal to finish.
Click the "Install" button.
Wait for the installation to finish.
At the end of the installation, you may be presented with a Windows security prompt about whether you want to allow the drivers to be installed. If so, confirm.
Wait for the driver installation to finish.
Click the "Close" button.
Hopefully that will make Windows happy and allow it to recognize the Nano Every boards.
Thanks for your suggestion. I've followed your steps and no luck. I think it may be an issue with IT shutting off USB ports for storage devices. Although like I mentioned in my original post, my Uno works fine. Not sure what is going on...
I'll have to use my Mac to program my Arduino, it is what it is.
