Connect uart_peripheral with Windows 11

Question

Hello,

I've taken the peripheral_uart sample and ripped all of the uart stuff out so that it currently just connects and logs anything received to the console - the simplest example. I can connect with my phone (Android), no problem. However when I try to connect with windows 11 using either the system connection, Bluetooth LE Explorer, examples using Bleak (python library) and pyble I consistently get a loop of:

00> [00:06:58.461,090] <inf> brikwiz_base: Connected D4:D8:53:4C:5D:23 (public)
00> [00:06:58.792,205] <inf> brikwiz_base: Disconnected: D4:D8:53:4C:5D:23 (public) (reason 19)

I understand that the reason 19 is that the client has disconnected but I cannot understand what is happening. I've looked around the internet and there doesn't seem to be a solution. Can you assist to provide any advice as to why you cannot connect to the peripheral_uart example with windows please?

Cheers,

Neil

Hello, 
 
 This would make sense and/or the windows pairing process trying to use the system bluetooth was not complete- however I've done too much to determine which it is. I'll create the use cases to determine which it was and go from there as I'll obviously not want this to happen in the field as I'm making a B2C product. For now I'll close this ticket and thanks very much for your help. 
 
 Cheers,
