CIRCUITPY is a USB drive. When you double-reset to get into the bootloader there should be a METROM4BOOT drive instead.

hi , yes i know that but its after putting CircuitPython on it, it should reboot as CIRCUITPY.
But it's not the case

Same with the Wippersnap it should appear as Wipper but not for me.

It's just USB drive (D:)

Does CIRCUITPY mount if you reset the Metro?

Do you have anything running that would block the drive? Antivirus or such?

OK. That looks like the CIRCUITPY drive. Can you put code onto it and have it run?

I don't know about wippersnapper. Do you have the correct wippersnapper firmware installed successfully?

I don't know what that beta label is about. I've never had any issue with those boards.

Try updating the bootloader. Instructions/links are at the bottom of that CircuitPython page.
