Hello I have a small problem. I'm trying to program the M4 board with arduino ide. I found out if i hit the reset button a couple of times somehow the code i upload gets ereased. And that Hid drive pops up. I'm not sure why this happens how can i stop that so if i hit the reset button my code stays?

Double-pressing reset puts the board into bootloader mode and METROBOOT will mount. Pressing reset a single time will run whatever firmware is in flash. Firmware uploaded by the Arduino IDE is put in flash and stays there until it is replaced.

Hello dastels, thank you it was freaking me out not seeing my sketch working. I was wondering if it is possible not to have that pop up folder every time it’s in boot loading time when I program it?

No, that's how the UF2 bootloader works. It is what let's you load a firmware UF2 onto the board (typically a CircuitPython UF2).
