What did you change between yesterday & today - hardware and/or software ?

A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked.A complex system designed from scratch never works and cannot be patched up to make it work.

Nothing at all - no changes to your code? No links fallen off?

 

Does the ST-Link appear in the Windows Device Manager (or equivalent on other platforms) ?

 

Does any of this help: https://community.st.com/t5/stm32-mcus/how-to-solve-debugger-connection-issues/ta-p/49693 ?
