Reinstalled Connect for Windows and conneced and added my wife's Vivoactive but it still cannot find my Venu 4 anymore. Restarted my Venu 4 to no avail.

Phone App works fine.

When you say "Connect for Windows," do you mean accessing Connect from a web browser? That's been working fine here.

Edit: Now I'm thinking you might mean Garmin Express. Can't speak to that app because I don't use it.

Your right it is Express. The web browser works fine. So for years I use Express via the laptop by connecting the cable to the laptop and the Venu 4 or other Garmin watch (my wife's Vivoactive. The display says connected or not connected.

Since 2/11 Express can't fine the Venu 4.

Bonjour

il faut utiliser les prise usb native de la carte mère et non pas des prise deportee du boîtier ou tout autre coordinateur.

faites un essai et vous verrez cela va fonctionner. Votre venu 4 sera reconnue par Windows 11.

I'm curious what you use Garmin Express for. Everything syncs and updates OTA and I often wonder why people still use Express.

It's another option for syncing and updating. I have a larger view with the laptop connected to a bigger screen.
