Wifi connection without Arduino-Ide serial.plotter

Solved
1

I am working with an Arduino MKR 1010 wifi and Arduino MKR ENV shield. Sending environmental data to Blynk-App on iOS. It all works fine as long as I start serial plotter in Arduino IDE once - connection to wifi is established without issues. But when I try to let the MKR rund on its own - without Arduino IDE connect - just on USB power. There is no Wifi-Connection happening. MKR is obviously waiting for instigation of the Wifi connection via serial plotter.

  Download latest Blynk library here:
    https://github.com/blynkkk/blynk-library/releases/latest

  Blynk is a platform with iOS and Android apps to control
  Arduino, Raspberry Pi and the likes over the Internet.
  You can easily build graphic interfaces for all your
  projects by simply dragging and dropping widgets.

 *************************************************************
  This example shows how to use Arduino MKR 1010
  to connect your project to Blynk.

  Note: This requires WiFiNINA library
    from http://librarymanager/all#WiFiNINA

  Feel free to apply it to any other example. It's simple!

What happens if you comment-out this line?:
