Hi @RudolfAtHome. Thanks for your report. I am not able to reproduce this. Please provide more information:
@RudolfAtHome - Does killing the serial-discovery.exe process in Task Manager (select it in "Details" tab and click "End task") give you back access to your COM port?
Sorry - it's not an error!
Describe the problem
Since version 2.0.3: The COM port is blocked even if the "Serial Monitor" is not used! I use an external program as a replacement for the Serial Monitor. That doesn't work anymore. I classify that as a mistake!
Up to and including V 2.0.2 the COM port was not blocked and I could use my external program. Now I have to close the IDE - that doesn't work at all.
To reproduce
Expected behavior
Same as in V 2.0.2 and bevor: The IDE has to release the COM port after download. If one uses the integrated Serial Monitor, only than the port must be used too.
