why the program does not start?

I am using a STM32 nucleo. So far I have had no problems. However something very strange is happening to my programs. Let's say I have a nucleo connected to a serial terminal. If I program the nucleo (and the terminal has been properly set) I can see the results. However, if I disconnect the nucleo and reconnect it again, the program does not run. pressing reset has no effect either. I have to re-program the nucleo to see effects. The program can be very very simple like

#include "mbed.h"
Serial pc(USBTX, USBRX);
 
DigitalOut myled(LED1);
 
int main() {
  
  pc.baud(115200) ;
  int i = 1;
  pc.printf("Hello World !\n");
  while(1) { 
      wait(1);
      pc.printf("This program runs since %d seconds.\n", i++);
      myled = !myled;
  }
}

I have to add that the pins of the nucleo are connected to a LCD but as you see I am not using that Has anybody run into this?

EDIT: To my horror, now I found that I have to reprogram it twice!!!

Hello Cristian,
The symptoms in your case are different but maybe some of these advices could help.

Are you sure that your serial terminal has remained connected when you disconnect/reconnect the device? You might need to establish the connection again.
