Windows 10: Garmin device not recognized in Windows 11

I have a Garmin Edge 820. When I bring up Garmin Express, it sees there is a new device to install, but when I click to add the device, Garmin Express can't find it. Garmin says they are unable to reproduce the problem. I have tried multiple USB cables and ports. I have uninstalled and re-installed Garmin Express multiple times over. I'm pretty much at my wit's end. Other than wiping the hard drive and doing a clean install of Windows 11, does anyone have any ideas?

Garmin USB device not recognized - Windows 10

Hi Jewel,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community forum.

This problem occurs because Garmin devices that are formatted with FAT12, FAT16, or FAT32 file systems are not recognized as mass storage devices by a computer or device that’s running Windows 10.

To resolve this, you may follow the suggestions listed in
Garmin USB devices don't work with Windows
10.

You may install the latest version of Garmin Express from:
Garmin Express software download

This issue is also documented by Garmin at

Garmin Nuvi 3597 GPS not recognized by Hp Spectre x360

Same problem others have posted concerning this Garmin device. Spectre x360 Windows 10 OS does not recognize the Garmin as being connected. Three USB 3.0 ports tried, but the Garmin is just getting power from those ports, not data. Garmin worked perfectly
with our 2010 ASUS desktop Windows 7 OS, but it is presently in for repairs. It has been suggested that the Spectre's USB 3.0 ports are too fast for the Nuvi 3597, that Windows 10 is not stepping down the speed to accommodate the device; therefore, a USB
2.0 hub is required as a "go-between".......any thoughts or suggestions?

 

Not detected by USB port - Garmin

Hello


I have a Garmin Forerunner 210 which has been driving me insane. It used to work fine and sync perfectly in the start, however it doesnt anymore.

I am using the Garmin Express program to sync as it is supposted to. However, it cannot detect/add my device. Nor can windows. It doesnt enter Mass storage mode, and disk management doesnt detect it either. However, it just goes into charging mode. Device itself works perfectly and tracks HR/GPS etc., but it is not detected as a storage device by the pc.

Things i've tried.
- Multiple Pcs with the newest Garmin Express (windows 10)
- Reinstall/clean install of Garmin Express.
- Cleaned the watches contacts/connection points etc.
- Reset/hard reset the watch
- Garmins suggestion on forcing software mode on the watch. (Turn it off and hold START/STOP while plugging into USB -> Just goes into charging again)


ANY help is appreciated. Comments, suggestions and certainly solutions *Biggrin
