If the device doesn't show up in the list (or nothing shows up in the list), you may need to enable the `List all devices` option in the `Options` menu. - -From here, you will need to know what type of controller the board is using. You may see it listed in the Device Manager as `ATmega32U4` device (which is an AVR board), or an `STM32` device (Which is an ARM board). For AVR boards, use `libusb-win32` for the driver. For ARM boards, use the `WinUSB` driver. Once the correct driver type has been selected, click on the `Replace Driver` button, unplug your board, plug it back in, and reset it again. +Re-running the QMK installation script (`./util/qmk_install.sh` from the `qmk_firmware` directory in MSYS2 or WSL) or reinstalling the QMK Toolbox may fix the issue.
