If you want seamless Bluetooth UART you should use Bluetooth Classic (not LE) SPP profile. There's ton of very cheap 'Bluetooth to UART' modules that implement that on microcontroller side. In Bluetooth LE there's no standardized way to do this. Unless someone implements Windows kernel driver and publishes compatible characteristics specifications all you can do is to implement interaction with NUS on application level. It's not that hard, rx part is just a notification, TX part is write only, no preconfiguration is needed. Just connect, enable rx notifications and you're good to go. You can even implement virtual com port for this using WinApi.

I coludn't believe this. Because the whole point of this is a generic UART. For what can I use a Nordic specific Uart?

I could be wrong, but isnt the device characteristic for the UART a Nordic specific characteristic, I'm not sure if Windows recognises it as a UART
