Hey there, I just wanted to contribute a very small, niche, PSA
I was struggling to figure out why I was getting the error "Error touching Serial Port ‘COM6’ when I didn’t have anything plugged into my computer except for my keyboard, mouse, and XIAO. Nothing should have been interacting with any com ports. I failed to remember NZXT Cam uses USB to run the lighting on Kraken AIO coolers.
Close Cam from the task tray and it immediately allowed me to upload my sketch. This could be equally valid for other internal devices that possibly use com ports. Hope this helps if anybody has this issue in the future.
