Issues with ST-Link serial number

I am assuming this is a Windows driver issue, but I do not know how to resolve it.

I use several Nucleo boards. Additionally, I use some USB ST-Link programmers.

These programmers always show up with a single letter serial number: A, B,C, D.

Using Keil ARM, I can often click around and get them to work (program)

But with STM32CubeIDE and STM32CubeProgrammer they always show up as a single letter and the software refuses to use them.

For instance CubeProgrammer:

Does anyone know the path to resolution for this problem?

You expect the same behaviour from replicas as from original parts?
The software does not recognize these clones because they are not genuine ST-LINK from STMicroelectronics. An original ST-LINK/V2 or ST/LINK-V3 would perfectly work.

What type are the USB ST-Link programmers?

Can you post an example photo?

I wish that were the case, but I also have one of these:

And while the serial number shows up I can't connect to it either.

Bad cables and hubs can be a contributory factor

Target connectivity, perhaps powering of buffers via VTarget, or non-responsiveness of Target (ie Off, Sleeping, pins disabled/reconfigured)

This happens because the STLink you are using must be the generic one. probably the Geehy APM32F103CBT6 ie fake.

So it will only communicate with the STLink Utility

This seems to work for me just enable Shared and click then click the refresh button quite a few times and it'll show a serial number and connect. a little late but i figure it'll help someone out
