Nucleo-F767ZI - Cannot update firmware for ST-Link

I have a Nucleo-F767ZI and have tried everything I know to get it going to no avail.  The problem seems to be relating to the ST Link.  After writing and compiling some code in STM32CubeIDE, I get the message that the ST-Link needs to be updated.  I go into STM32CubeProgrammer and attempt to do just that.  When I connect inside STM32CubeProgrammer, the app sees the board, I click on “Connect” and I can see data in various memory locations. However, when I attempt to “Upgrade Firmware”, that’s where the trouble starts. After clicking on Upgrade Firmware, the app reports nothing found.  I can disconnect the USB cable, reconnect, and STM32CubeProgrammer will see the board again.  The unfortunate thing is, I cannot use the board because STM32CubeIDE will not allow me to download.  The weird thing is, in the past, I have used the Arduino IDE to write code and program this board and it still works fine - no problems.  I just cannot get the native STM32CubeIDE and STM32CubeProgrammer to act right.  Finally, I have tried different USB cables, uninstalled and reinstalled STM32CubeIDE / STM32CubeProgrammer, uninstalled / reinstalled USB drivers (STSW-link009), all to no avail.  Oh yes, one final note.  I also have a Nucleo-F446RE board that works flawlessly on my PC with STM32CubeIDE / STM32CubeProgrammer - no issues at all.  If someone has any other suggestions, I would greatly appreciate them!  Thanks!

Here are some screen shots of what I’m seeing.  Shown here, the STM32CubeProgrammer sees the ST-Link and it’s serial number.

It can even see data in memory locations on my board:

But, after clicking on “Firmware Upgrade”, everything stops.  “No device connected”.

Hello ​@Kadams58 and welcome to the ST community,

Try with STSW-LINK007 to update the ST-LINK

I failed to mention that I running this on Windows 11 Pro, Gigabyte Z790 AORUS Pro X motherboard, 32 GB RAM.  Don’t know if that matters or not.
