Hi everybody,
I’m facing a curious problem with two Lenovo laptops (one ThinkPad, one Legion), the same ESP32 (SC01 Plus) card, and two fresh installations of VSCode and PlatformIO. I’m trying to upload the exact same program on both computers.
On the first computer (ThinkPad), it compiles and uploads without any problems. However, on the second computer (Legion), the COM port can’t be opened. Nothing else is using the COM port on the Legion (I’ve tried rebooting and starting VSCode again) and the terminal is not open.
This is what I get on the Legion when it’s not working:
And this is what I get on the ThinkPad when it’s working:

Chip is ESP32-S3 (revision v0.2)
The Windows drivers are identical on both machines.
I tried deleting the User/Owner/.platformio/package directory to reload all the packages, but I got the same result. I also tried uninstalling and reinstalling VSCode and PlatformIO, but the problem persists.
If anyone has any ideas, I would really appreciate it. I’ve been struggling with this issue for a week now.
Thank you very much for your help.
