Devkit v1 not recognized by PC after blink test (Platform IO)

[simohayha]

Wanted to give PlatformIO a shot so I set everything up accordingly and loaded a blink sketch and uploaded. The pin was 2 (onboard LED I believe). After uploading and auto reset, it did nothing. So I disconnected and connected again. Now the board is not recognized by the PC. Nothing shows up on comport on device manager (using win11). The power light on the ESP32 lights up but that is pretty much it. After holding BOOT + EN, the pc recognizes the COM port but if I try to write a sketch, it fails and the board vanishes from COM port again. Help would be much appreciated, thanks.
