Hi TaviTone.Similar issue here: Bought a Fenix 6 Pro on Friday than yesterday, I tried to change something on the watch using Garmin Express and since then, GE, Garmin Connect and even PC won't recognize the watch. I know it's not the port or the cable because the watch charges. I have done multiple hard resets and everytime goes away the display says Taxtic Delta, Fenix 6 Pro X Solar, Fenix 6 S Solar... but never Fenix 6 Pro.I don't get it. Even tried Garmin Support last night, but same result, can't fix it. Looks like it's hopeless. I will return the watch to the store today.
Since you can mount it in Windows I would suggest grabbing the latest beta and using the system backdate file. This will reset your device and reinstall 20.30. The instructions on how to do so are at the bottom of this page https://www8.garmin.com/support/download_details.jsp?id=15168.
If that doesn't work I'd say give Garmin Support a call since they might have other ideas to fix it or it could be a hardware failure.
I'm having a very similar issue with my 6x Sapphire. Were you ever able to fix this?

Delete Express from your computer and install it again. That should clear download history etc and start fresh.
You could try installing Alpha 24.81. The method for beta changed since original post.
I did remove/reinstall Express which didn't help. I can't find a way install any beta after a 21.x version beta when the only thing I can access is the folder system.
But you could try, as ryanspa suggested, to install Alpha 24.81. It is available here in the beta forum for manual download and manual installation.

Have you done a FULL uninstall ?
