Trouble starting GDB with ESP-WROVER-KIT

Seems like you’re encountering the common “traps for young players” which were already talked about in topics like:

Indeed it has a debug FTDI chip on board. Have you followed the steps commanded by Espressif for configuring the jumpers on the board for JTAG, too? Doesn’t work if the debugger chip isn’t connected to the JTAG signals of the ESP32 chip.

Already defined, so that’s redundant and can be removed.

Very likely related to the fact that you haven’t used used Zadig to change to the WinUSB/libusb drivers, see topics links
