@wikistik I have tried that, but the Windows system seems to be trying to insert a random outdated driver for the USB cable instead of the one you suggested. You're right, though, because on a different Windows 7 computer, I installed the drivers and it started working automatically.

I was trying to start coding with my newly purchased M5StickC and came across a big problem: I wasn't able to get the usb driver for the USB Type-C cable working so I can program from the Arduino IDE. I went through the suggested steps from the documentation but they didn't fix the problem. Can I have some help? BTW, my Arduino IDE is version 1.8.10 and my laptop is running Windows 7.
