Installing nRF52840 dongle on W10 PC. Please see the attached screenshot to help me out installing it for nRF Connect.

Thanks.

So now everything works like it should? Do you know what the solution was? Did you have to restart nrf connect or your computer? Did you have to flash the connectivity FW to the dongle again? Or did it just magically work by itself ;) ?

Yes, seems like it. I wish I would know. No, I didn't restart nor to do anything I noticed, just was doing other regular stuff, maybe plugging/unplugging USB devices.

No, I was asked to do it the first time I plugged the dongle in and it has failed afterward. Yep, looks like we're looking for some magic which really sucks. 

Thanks.

Here we go again...

Maybe this can help...

The dongle is not in bootloader mode, right (i.e. the red led is not flashing)? Here's a snapshot of my device manager:

Could you please first restart your computer.

Then, could you please set the dongle in bootloader mode (press on the Reset button while the dongle is plugged in), open nRF Connect again & program the connectivity FW one more time. You should get a popup in nRF Connect:

Then, everything should hopefully work fine & not require any magic to function properly ;). 

If that does not work, could you plug the dongle in directly to the pc to see if that helps. You might need to set the dongle in BL mode again & reprogram the connectivity FW if required.

Kind Regards,

Bjørn
