Why is there a 2-3 second delay before the XIAO SAMD21 gets recognized by Windows?

Hey, I have multiple XIAO SAMD21 boards, and all of them have a few second delay after plugging it in and it appearing in Windows device manager.

I’ve also tested with the XIAO ESP32S3 and it gets recognized instantly, also with the Adafruit QT-PY SAMD21, which is based on the XIAO version. It also gets recognized instantly.

i would assume the SAMD uses a different driver that is probably generic and the windows takes a little time to search thru its records

you might verify by checking

It doesn’t appear under the HID, I guess unless you use a HID library.

It appears under the “Ports”:

Yeah … I didn’t have any plugged in but you got the picture
