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
Device is not detected in Windows 10 after updating to the Anniversary update.

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

 

Garmin devices in device manager but not showing in explorer.


Hi, I'm having exactly the same problem after upgrading to Windows 10 Pro. I'm trying to connect to my Garmin Edge 810. I have the latest Garmin USB drivers. The Garmin connects to the PC, I can see both the device and the micro-SD card in windows explorer, however Mapsource and Basecamp don't seem to find the device.

Also the garmin communicator plugin in firefox doesn't find the device. (I have installed the plugin for internet explorer, but since then internet explorer crashes every time when opening).

I also don't have any clue at what to do next...
