I had hardware where I used the ESP32 DEV Kit1(Wroom), the prototype was changed to use a “Wrover” and I use the DEV KitV4 programming schematic on my new PCB. I plugged it into my notebook and the CP2102N register and I can program the first 4 PCBs without a problem. My colleague however uses windows10 and it just doesn’t want to upload. Because we use dual boot I also rebooted in Linux (Ubuntu) and to my surprise, it also did not want to “upload”. Both use esptool.py v3.1. I tried in windows to delete the pytool directory, updated all libs, tools ext to the latest version, and even reinstall visual studio code, to no avail. I tried to lower the upload speed etc,

How can I get more verbose upload information, too scared to touch the working notebook? Something is different
