I have the same issue with NRF9160-DK-ND I got from Digikey the last week.

Updating the board controller FW does not change the situation:

Which version of the Development Kit for the nRF9160 do you have?
Which version of the nRF Connect Programmer are you using?
Which version of nrfjprog and JLink do you have?

These are things that might impact your ability to detect the nRF9160 as they need to be updated (however I doubt the version of the DK is the issue as my v0.7.0 DK worked as did v0.8.2 and v0.8.5). nRF Programmer has been working for my nRF9160 DKs since the first closed realease samples of the DK last year.

When I connect my v0.8.5 DK to v2.6.2 of the nRF Connect Programmer I see this:
