ST-LINK does not connect to the target

I have ST-LINK dongle. When I try to connect in CubeIDE with Debug icon I have an error

Error in initializing the ST-LINK device. Reason: No device found on the target.

It happens all the time. When I use ST-LINK utility I have the same problem, but when I push down RESET switch on board I have a connection. Pins PA13 and PA14 are not used for another purpose. The setting in ST-LINK like Core Reset or Software reset does not work. I only have a connection when I push down Reset switch and then try to connect only in ST-Link Utility.

Where do I make mistake and what is "connect Under Reset"?

Connect under reset means that when the debug probe connects to the target the reset line is kept active, so no user code can be executed.

I would advise to keep this always on unless you connect to the running target.

One thing could be that the software that is flashed onto your STM32 disables those pins and as such you can't connect debug/program it when it has booted.

Keeping the STM under reset while trying to connect and then releasing the reset bypasses this bootup and lets the ST-LINK interface control the STM.
