New windows pro laptop: nrfjprog does not work -- how to fix

Hi All

I started on the fundamental course in the academy.
I did everything by the letter in lesson 1 / exercise 1

Yet when I plugged in my 52840 devkit I could no load the blinky app because it said no debugger found.

So I ran   nrfjprog -r --log and it said "ERROR:  No debuggers were discovered."

I noticed in device manager that a comport does appear, but I also saw the "Other Devices"  group and an item called "BULK Interface" with an orange icon.
I also saw that unlike my other PC where istall works, plugging in the devkit results in a 'SEGGER MSD Volume USB Device" item under Disk Drives

Initially during the exercise it has instaled JLink 7.94e and so I installed the latest from the Segger website and that did not work either


So I manually pointed the "BULK interface" to my local folder "C:\Program Files\SEGGER\JLink_V810k" and it all worked after that.

I note thay chatgpt's suggestion was ..
C:\Program Files (x86)\SEGGER\JLink\

I have a sneaking suspicion that it would have all worked at first attempt if segger had installed in the jlink folder rather than jlink_vXXX

This was a head's up

Kind regards
Mahendra
