nrfConnect problems - no connected devices found

The last couple of months I have been following the course “nRF Connect SDK Fundamentals”, but I am unable to get further than Exercise 2. This is because Visual Studio cannot find any connected device. I use the board PCA10056 and SDK version is v2.6.2 and the “nrf Connect for VS Code Extension Pack” is version 2024.9.5.
The nrfConenct are re-installed several times along with Visual Studio.

I must mention that in the very beginning of the course I was able to find the board (connected devices), but then I had to have a pause for some weeks to do another job and when I continued the course for soon 2 weeks ago, I was not able to find the connected board.
I have read pages up and down about this but have not found any solution that helps.
If someone can give me a “step by step” instruction on how to solve the problem I would be very happy.

Kind regards
Svein

PS. Reason for running the course: I have used SDK17.1.0 and Segger Embedded Studio for 4-5 years now and the company I work for is considering to upgrade the Development Environment.

  • I don't know if it's related or not, but lately I'm experiencing similar issues in which I cannot see anything under the nRF Connect extension tab (I'm using VSCode under WSL2). If I click the "Refresh" button under the Connected Devices an error appears like in the picture:

    For me it works just disabling the extension, reloading the window and enabling it again. But it's annoying to do this every time I open the editor. Can you try reloading the extension?
