ESP32 not being recognized by Arduino IDE

[Carson wolke]

I'm trying to use an ESP32 WROOM to control an LED panel for FRC ( not particularly important, it just adds context). It's been working well for around a year, but suddenly, when the ESP is plugged in, Arduino won't let me select a port (greys it out in the drop-down). When I plug in an Arduino uno, it reads it fine and allows me to select a port, but when I switch back to the ESP, port is greyed out again. I have the driver from silicon labs (silabs.com/developer-tools/us -to-uart-bridge-vcp-drivers), and the espressif ESP32 board on Arduino IDE. If anyone could help, it would be much appreciated. Thank you!
