Segger J-Link Plus not listed in VS Code connected devices

[abhiash4nRF]

Hello Experts,

On my Windows 10 PC, I have installed nRF for Desktop v5.0.2 and J-Link Pack version 7.94e got installed along with it.

Also installed Nordic command line tools using " nrf-command-line-tools-10.24.2-x64 ".

In VS code have installed and enabled all nRF extensions however the J-Link Plus connected never appears in Connected Devices for a nRF5340 custom board.

Also the Welcome and Applications Screen never appears as shown in the screen snap below.

Tried different versions of J-Link package however no progress. 

I am using ncs v2.6.0 and VS code v1.92.1

Also uninstalled and installed VS Code, Tool Chain, a couple of times however no effect 

 PS: previously with the same hardware I had no such issues. Something has changed.

Kindly guide me towards the solution

Thanks,

AbhiAsh

Try nrfjprog or jlink.exe (jlink commander in the SEGGER program group) directly. Its possible that your debug adapter needs a firmware update.
