I recently got a new Windows 11 PC and I’m having Ant+ HR Strap connection issues. I’m using a Wahoo HR strap. The HR connection is the only connection issue that I’m having and it only happens with the WIN11 PC SYSTM app as, when the connection drops on the PC, the connection remains strong on my Garmin Edge computer via Ant+ as well as on my iPhone iOS SYSTM app via BLE. I don’t have any connection issues with my KickR Snap trainer via Ant+ or the Wahoo Blue SC speed/candence sensors via Ant+. The WIN11 PC app finds the HR strap just fine at the launch of a workout but during the workout with the WIN11 SYSTM app, the connection is constantly dropping. As you can see in the photos below, when the HR connection in the WIN11 SYSTM app drops, the connection remains strong on my Garmin Edge and on the iOS app. I’ve replaced the battery in the HR sensor but the issue remains. Does anyone know if there is a known connection issue between WIN11 and certain ANT+ connections? I don’t/didn’t have this issue on the WIN10 PC or the WIN7 PC.
I suspect it might have nothing to do with ANT+. I have found, in general, SYSTM is the worst software I have to deal with for connection issues.
Yesterday, I did several Inspiration videos in a row (there was a reason for that), and each time I had to spend several minutes to get my HR monitor and trainer to reconnect with Bluetooth. The Garmin (using Bluetooth) had no problem, nor does Rouvy have such a problem.
This was on a Windows 11 PC.

@Heretic I did the Zwift Baseline Attack the Bunch interval workout yesterday and I had zero HR connection dropouts. On Thursday I did a SYSTM On Location workout and I had several HR connection dropouts.
Thursday/Friday
