Unable to Sync/ upload from my Garmin Forerunner into Garmin connect

In a nutshell, my Garmin 405cx forerunner and I have used the "old" garmin connect website successfully for a number of years. It often took 4-5 tries for the website to connect to my garmin (recognize it) and upload a workout. Now however it does not acknowledge I have any device whatsoever. I have tried approaching 20 times, downloaded the Garmin Express 3 times and followed all instructions, closed programs and such and there is no result. It simply says I do not have my device connected. There is no longer the option to upload manually that I can see and as long as the program cannot see my device....that is sitting here plugged into my computer repeatedly, I can do nothing. To my mind, this is ridiculously difficult and should not take posting a query on a forum to figure out.

Any help is much appreciated.
Thank you.

    When the world is moving towards web based products (that are often OS agnostic) Garmin decides to move the opposite direction and requires a massive install for a simple application/function. To top it off, it doesn't even work correctly. I also have this problem. Forerunner 110.

    "may require up to 13GB free space" under system specs actually made me laugh. High speed internet connection to send bytes of data? My watch only holds at most 5MB. I can somewhat deal with bloat.. only somewhat. When it doesn't work, it becomes unacceptable.
