nRF Connect v3.9.3 does not detect external j Link programmer

[KV]

Hello,

I recently updated my nRF Connect to the latest version 3.9.3 and it also updated the programmer app to 2.1.0. After this update, the Programmer app does not detect my external Segger J Link Pro and I get the following message in the Log window.

Previously, I was using connect version 3.9.1 and it was working fine. What is the workaround? Is it possible to switch back to v3.9.1 and Programmer app version 2.0.1?

UPDATE:

Also, Updating to the latest J Link driver does not resolve this issue:

Hi

I have reported this to our developers, and they're looking into it. In the meantime it should indeed be possible to revert to nRFConnect v3.9.1, as I believe the issue is with the latest nRFConnect for Desktop versions. If you uninstall the version you have installed currently, the 3.9.1 version can be downloaded and installed from here. 

Best regards,

Simon

UPDATE:  Sorry, it seems the issue is related to the v2.1.0 version of the programmer app, which makes it harder to roll back on your end, but the developers say a fix in the form of a new update should be in place soon. Thank you for your patience.
