The Garmin Vivofit USB ANT is recognized by Mac, but not by Windows 10. In order to get it recognized I have to eject the ANT and then plug it back in again. Anyone else have this problem or a fix for it?
Hi DennisH1, It is technically not possible to connect a USB device to multiple operating systems (to Mac and Windows) at the same time. If you wish to switch the USB device between operating systems without disconnecting each time, under Devices > External Devices > USB dongle if it is checked then it will be connected to Windows else it will be connected to Mac. You have to just select/deselect the USB device.
OK I finally figured out that I have to start Parallels Desktop at the same time that the Mac OS loads. Now the Garmin ANT loads with Windows 10 every time. I was starting Windows 10 after the Mac OS was loaded. Thank you, DennisH1
Hi DennisH1, we are glad that you have resolved the issue. If you like to assign an external device to load in Windows virtual machine, please refer to this article.
