Hello guys,
I have a Pro Trinket 5v 16MHz.
Everytime I try to upload my code on my pro trinket its get stuck on 99% and fail when the bootloader runs out.
My Suggest is that the bootloader needs to be reset, but I dont know how to reset the chip.

Pro Trinkets (and the original Trinkets) don't work very well these days. From the product page:
DaveDeprecation Warning: The Pro Trinket bit-bang USB technique it uses doesn't work as well as it did in 2014, many modern computers won't work well. So while we still carry the Pro Trinket so that people can maintain some older projets, we no longer recommend it.

I'm afraid not. It's due to how it does USB which doesn't work so well with more modern computers.
Upgrading to a Trinket M0 or one of the QyPy boards is the way to go.

Old hardware, not just OS. It's the USB hardware/software. I expect it would be cheaper/easier just to get a Trinket M0 unless you have some old equipment laying around.
