THis isn't a major issue but I have searched and found nothing on a similar issue. Running the Arduino IDE on Windows 10. If it try an OTA update I get a "no answer" from the board 100% of the time. If I first ping the address from a command window it then works 100% of the time. Almost as if the port has timed out and a ping wakes it up. In fact, if I ping and then wait a few minutes the "no answer" returns as well.

Any advice or similar experience. OTA is a fantastic way to go and it is worth pinging in advance of upload if necessary.

Thanks
