I just upgraded to VM V2022.128.2221.  I upgraded after upgrading VS to 17.4.3 (see details below).    However, once I restarted my PC, there are no board definitions in VM for a project that was compiling properly in the prior version.  No boards are in the drop-down box and I get this message:

- Visual Micro -
Intellisense was unable to find a board package.
  To install hardware package(s) using 'Manage Boards', or configure an older Arduino 1x IDE location.
     example: install the 'AVR' package for 'Arduino Uno' and 'Mega' boards, or see the auto discovery list at the top of board manager for other suggestions.

I confirmed in Arduino IDE 1.8.15 that boards are present and I can compile sketches just fine.   Have not made any changes before the upgrade like moving directories for IDE.

I tried to go into the board manager in VM/VS and the directory pointers are correct and there are URL's for the board managers, as before.

Any ideas?

Hi,
See attached JPG for the IDE screen and a grab of the arduino directory.

Thank you,
Rich

In addition to my prev post we still need to know the answer to this?

Which IDE is selected on the vMicro menu?

Thanks

Glad its working. Sounds like the last used app registry key or project setting was lost somehow. 

  The IDE Locations and the Explorer simply show what apps are available.

  The vMicro menu and tool bar show the specific app is currently being used.

Thanks for the update.
