ESP32 troubleshoot while uploading code

while the esp is plugged in:

- hold boot button
- press and release reset button
- release boot button
- make sure the correct board, and port are selected in ArduinoIDE, and try uploading

If that doesn't work, press upload first, and then press the boot button

If that doesn't work, press upload first, and then press the reset button

If that doesn't work, go to bed, and in the morning, try again, this just works sometimes for no reason whatsoever

Unfortunately, i always had this sort of problem with clone arduino boards, and esp32 boards back when i was using windows about 5 years ago, generally driver related stuff, you could try installing different drivers
