 I&amp;#39;m stuck in the nRF Connect SDK Fundamentals course on lesson 3, exercise 1. When opening the COM port to view the printk messages, I get an error when connecting to VCOM0. 
 
 
 Connection to VCOM1 works, but there I can&amp;#39;t see any output. </description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 13</generator><lastBuildDate>Fri, 23 Aug 2024 16:22:34 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/112391/cannot-open-com-access-denied-during-fundamentals-course" /><item><title>RE: Cannot open COM, access denied during fundamentals course</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/499616?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Fri, 23 Aug 2024 16:22:34 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:817ae31b-1302-4ea5-8e20-ada0d866b4e3</guid><dc:creator>JLarkin</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Closing VS Code and then restarting it should fix this.
