button to unlock hung upload port?

Every so often using VS2015 I might accidentally do a second F5 when one is in progress. This often results in the upload port becoming unavailable - and is a REAL PITA to get it restarted on Win10. Is there any chance a "magic button" could be added to VM that would clear the hung upload port? If so - generations yet unborn will raise up and sing praises to your name! Cheesy

Reply #1 - Oct 19^th, 2018 at 4:38pm Each board has its own tool chain that we run to perform upload. Such as avrdude.exe for avr boards. If you open "Task Manager > Processes" you will find and be able to terminate whatever process is being used.
