nRFConnect Programmer v2.1.1 has been released and should hopefully fix this issue, let me know if you're still having trouble.

Best regards,

Simon

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.

This is happening for me too. I get the same output as above. When I click show log file, here is what I see:
