Hello...
I am running windows 10 with the current Arduino IDE and Adafruit drivers installed. I am programming a feather 32U and having problems with the Comm Port in the IDE vanishing. I plug in the feather and I can see the Port Menu option engage and I select the port. Windows then gives me an alert that it is configuring for the feather and then the comm port vanishes from the IDE and I can't upload. Happens on the MO also, however, UNOs work properly with no issues.
I followed the instructions to ignore the comm Port setting and download blink by hitting the reset button during compilation/download. It downloads fine and works. The comm port shows for a bit in the IDE, then vanishes again and I can't download my program.
No Ports are listed in the device manager at this time.
I have tried different cables ( known good), rebooted the system, reinstalled drivers and the IDE, unplugging -plugging in the devices etc... nothing.
Hope you can help...

Re: Comm Port disappearing on Feather 32U and Mo
Have you removed and reinstalled the IDE with a fresh copy? Also, is this a Feather or an Itsy Bitsy?

Thanks for the reply...
Yes ... uninstalled old copy... downloaded a new copy of the IDE and drivers and installed, rebooted machine. Same result. It feels like windows at first sees the device and assigns them a comm port then windows comes along a minute later removes it.
