Since the most recent update, zwift doesn’t always detect that my ANT+ dongle is connected. As in, it has the yellow warning sign my the ANT + icon.
I have tried each usb drive, with and without the USB extension. My drivers are up to date. Twice, once successfully connected via ANT+, I tried to start I ride for ANT+ to drop out again and then Zwift won’t detect the dongle again. Once I restart Zwift, (sometimes twice), it works and I tend not to have problems.
I don’t have any Garmin Express installed. I also tried on my other windows 10 laptop, and same problem happened. I had to restart Zwift before my dongle was detected.
Thanks. I’ve already ordered a new one so hoping this resolves the issue. It’s just odd that it only started happening after the Zwift update. Literally first ride after it updated, Ant+ dropped out just before starting a meetup. First time it’s ever happened,
so it seems a bit of a coincidence if it’s the dongle that decided to stop working at that point!
Hi @Josie_Park_ICC, did you get a new dongle and did it work straight away? Windows 10 has just updated for me and straight away my Ant+ dongle is no longer being picked up! I find it hard to believe it is coincidental!
Thx a ton! Just upgraded my PC to win 10 due to zwift indicating no more support for win 8.1 and older.
When i started zwift the usb dongle did not work properly. Thx to your instructions i was able to get my ant+ dongle running again without much hassle.
I am really happy that i found your instructions quite early in my search, thanks again, much appreciated!
