Windows 10: USB driver not communicating with Arduino IDE

I'm trying to upload code from the Arduino IDE to a board connected to my device via one of the USB ports. For some reason, I'm getting the message :avrdude: ser_open: can't open device "\\.\COM11": Access is denied.So it seems as though my USB driver I renamed it COM11 from COM3 in an attempt to resolve the issue isn't wanting to open. Some Arduino forums suggested that the driver needed to be updated, and another said a Windows update made their driver disagreeable. I checked and my driver isn't overdue for an update, and yet its still not opening

Visual Code Studio cannot detect Arduino IDE 2.0

To whom it may concern,

I have installed Visual Code Studio and Arduino IDE 2.0. When I try to select the programmer or board type, I get an error which states 'Cannot find Arduino IDE' even though I have indicated the path of the Arduino IDE executable file in the screenshot below. Strangely, when I tested Visual Studio Code with Arduino IDE 1.18.14, there was no problem detecting the Arduino IDE. Since I am required to use the latest version of Arduino IDE, it would be appreciated if you could inform me about how to fix this issue. Thanks in advance.

Regards

Matthew

 

Installing USB-SERIAL CH340 drivers (Arduino)

Hello

I need to install (remotely) a driver "USB-SERIAL CH340" to allow an Arduino board to communicate with a PC. This driver is used as a serial port over a USB port. Since we are all confined ( Covid-19) , I can't go to his place to help him.

I got access to his PC uing AnyDesk

This driver is installed on my own PC, but I can't find a way to install in on my brother Windows 10 PC.

Any help appreciated
Good luck to all

Martin
