I ended up reinstalling Windows 10 and nrfutil now works. I believe that it may have been due to my attempting to execute a BASH script meant to be executed on a Mac.

Hi,

As said in the documentation, nrfutil has tier 3 support on Windows 10.

Which means that the tools are supported by design, but are not built or tested after each change. Therefore, the application may or may not work.

Also, if you are on a ARM64 computer, then no, we don't support the ARM64 architecture for any Windows.

Best regards,

Simon D-M

Must be something on your system, freshly downloaded .exe runs here in a win10 install. Exe is signed by Nordic ASA, so I think you would get an error message if the download was corrupted somehow.

It does take a few seconds to execute here on the though, and its possible that your virus scanner goes haywire.
