Matrix Portal restarts when Code file added #16

I have this set up for my father in law and he's been loving it, but it stopped working a few months ago and it seems that the matrix portal is continuously restarting after a few seconds of being plugged into the computer or power supply.

I have gone and deleted the contents of the matrix portal and started fresh which stopped the constant restarting, however as soon as I add the Code.py file, it begins the cycle of restarting again. This stops again when I delete the Code.py file. The secrets file does not seem to be causing this issue.

I have version 8.2.4 installed on my board and a did a fresh download of the required libraries.

Thanks for a great design and any help you may be able to provide.

If you setup the Arduino IDE like this: https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-matrixportal-m4/arduino-ide-setup you can use the serial monitor to see if the board is saying why it's restarting
