After update to version 15.5.4 visual micro can not open COM port, it programming device without any problem but can't open port after that. Any other program do it without problem (e.g Port monitor built into Ardudino IDE). Update to the version 15.5.5 did not solve the problem. I used 3 different devices, and there was the same problem with everyone (ESP12 and ESP32 module). Since the problem occured, i did:
- update and reinstall VS,
- update device drivers,
-reinstall Windows, VS and all drivers,
and it still did not help. Before update VS everything worked well. It works fine with Arduino Uno.
