Garmin Ant issues!

Why should Garmin Express care about heart and speed sensors, it doesn’t sync anything from them? It’s Zwift you need to be testing with.

See post #13, the OP has done so.

Do the ants require better treatment?

Not just any old ant ... Ant-plus.
Have you seen the movie "Them!"?

So in preparation for my indoor training/Zwift sessions I've got myself a Garmin Ant+ USB stick to plug into my laptop (Windows 11).however nothing seems to connect to it using Garmin Express.

I've fully updated the computer and all drivers
I've tried the stick in each of the 3 USB ports (it's recognised in each of them by the computer)
I've searched the Internet!
Garmin Express is on the latest version. Uninstalled/reinstalled, restarted laptop numerous times.
In frustration I've emailed Garmin (not expecting a response though!)

Anyone got any ideas?

Windows 11 is a pile of the proverbial **** One of the problems is the Ant + drivers

I used Garmin's 2nd option (manual install of drivers) to sort it:

I then had problems installing Wahoo RGT solved that by googling the error message and following a tech site's instructions it was something like enable developer mode and install it via the Windows Power Shell (the old dos/cmd prompt renamed).
