Hey all, anyone know of a working ANT+ driver for Windows 11? The TR one installs fine on my machine, but doesn’t seem to let my dongle get detected by TR. I know the real answer is “downgrade to Windows 10 because 11 literally just came out so there are probably bugs” but I’d like to avoid that if possible.
Thanks!
Nevermind, I solved it. In case anyone needs help:
The driver installed fine after enabling dotNET 3.5, but my dongle wasn’t being recognized. I found a notification in the notification pane that said something like “finish installing device” and I clicked it and now everything works.
I have an IT managed laptop from work and I was getting the .NET framework error when trying to install the TR ANT+ drivers. It would say that I needed .NET Framework version 3.5 or higher, and that caused some confusion for me because after downloading most recent .NET framework from MS website I got an error saying I already had the most recent version of .NET installed.
I found how to check and enable .NET framework for Windows 10!
Go to Control Panel>Programs and under “Programs and Features” there is an option to “Turn Windows Features On or Off”------BINGO!
Click that and follow the directions to enable both .NET Framework 3.5 and .Net Framework 4.8.
NOTE: My .Net Framework 3.5 was not enabled originally AND only a couple of services of my .Net Framework 4.8 were enabled. IT DID NOT work for me to only enable everything in .NET Framework 4.8. I had to enable everything in .Net framework 3.5 as well.
I hope this helps someone else with a IT managed laptop.
I got a new Windows 11 laptop the other day. I also ran into Ant + driver problems. I ended up installing them manually:
ANT+ Adapter Not Working With Windows 11 | Garmin Support
I then ran into problems with the RGT Wahoo install, I had to turn on developer mode and sideload through the Windows Power Shell (new name for the cmd/DOS prompt).
Just installing Garmin Express seemed to make mine work. It is a semi-generic one I got from Amazon in 2017. Just FYI if you install Garmin Express you need to make sure it is not running when you try to use the ANT+ adapter with other apps, it tends to take over.
That’s the 2nd option in my link in my post above (drivers) but through Garmin so it should be a legit link. The manual install worked for me. Seems wins 11 is a bag of spades as I found out when I had to solve further problems with the RGT Wahoo install 
Did you follow the Garmin link I posted a few posts up, it has some reliable technical things. IIRC I followed the technique thats the equivalent of the CMD DOS prompt (Power Shell)
I’ve run into the same issue with ANT+ drivers on Windows 11, and it’s frustrating. From what I’ve found, updating drivers directly through Device Manager and using compatibility mode for installation can help. Also, make sure your system is fully updated, as recent patches might address driver issues. If you’re still stuck, you might consider a fresh install to reset things. Here’s a guide that might come in handy: How to Factory Reset PC Windows 11 - Operating Systems . This might help clear up persistent problems. Just a heads up, this reply is to an older post, so the situation might have evolved since then.
