How to Debug in STMCubeIDE?

I am new to STM32. I have recently installed STM32CUBEIDE. I have written basic code . connected ST-Link v2 (STM8 & STM32) to my laptop and pressed F11 (to debug). I get the following error

Error in initializing ST-LINK device.
Reason: ST-LINK firmware upgrade required. Please upgrade the ST-LINK firmware using the upgrade tool.

I get the following pop-ups.

After clicking yes.

ST link upgrade shows error as shown below

Now the version of st link upgrade is 3.37. I manually downloaded St link upgrader of version V2.J36.S7

Here after manually upgrading the firmware of ST link I get the same error with the same reason. What I could gather is that latest version of ST link upgrader does not work with my ST link dongle but to debug and upload code I need to upgrade it via STMCubeIDE but that does not happen.

If I missed something please guide me. Thanks for helping me.

I hate the same problem a while a go. In my chase the debugger it self (st/linkv2) was broken and I tried to upload it with a other dongle and it worked fine. So it could be just be a broken dongle.
