Re: OTA_Mode - No Network port is shown!

I read a lot of the posts online about this issue and none solved my problem. Initially, I did not have python3 installed. After installing and giving firewall permission to python, the port still did not show up. I restarted the Arduino IDE many times. I could ping the ESP8266 and I could manually upload the *.bin file using the espota.py tool. Bonjour for windows did not show anything.
Then I rebooted the PC.
It works! The port shows up properly and the OTA upload works normally. Not sure why rebooting fixed the problem. FYI...Bonjour for windows still does not show anything so its probably not a good troubleshooting tool.
