STM32CubeProgrammer 2.16 - cannot program MCU by USB

[STeve-o]

Hello,

After installing STM32CubeProgrammer v2.16, I was unable to program a STM32F412 by USB (in DFU mode).

I've never had a problem doing this and after uninstalling v2.16 and installing v2.15, everything worked fine.

This problem was also confirmed by my colleague who is in a different location.

Here is the log for v2.15:

You can see many problems with the v2.16 log.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Is there an ETA for the next release?  I can't download an earlier version of this program on your website.
