Connect a Laptop with Windows to Peripheral UART example

Sure, my question is very stupid, but after one day I found nothing to explain the principle of the situation, I decided to ask.

I have a laptop with built-in Bluetooth 5.2 and Windows 11. It runs a terminal testing program.

I have nRF5340 DK with the example Peripheral UART installed (nRF Connect SDK1.8.0). The board works normally, I tested it with a phone with Android and nRF Connect for Mobile. Everything is working fine. The board is connected to a desktop computer on which a terminal program is running and connected to COM port ( not USB).

Windows (laptop), sees the board. After pressing adding device (on Win), the LED on the board (connected) lights up for 1 second, Windows thinks about 5 seconds, and says try again. I imagine that it will connect to the board, and a window will appear to install a serial port to which I can connect through the terminal program. No PIN display window appears. I tried to quickly press button 1, possibly to confirm, nothing. I can transmit data over the phone without the board being BONDED. Let me just say that I've been doing Nordic for 6 months, and I've learned some things. But here I can't even imagine what should happen. Google didn't help either. Does anything else need to be installed on the board?

In the final version, it should be a remote device to which with any laptop with Bluetooth 5.2, to be able to connect and through a terminal program to exchange data via serial port.

    The hr_coded example makes sense that you're not able to detect, as it advertises over the Coded PHY, which is an optional BLE 5.0 feature most phones and (all) laptops I've encountered doesn't support.

    The Zephyr version should indeed work both on phone and laptop as far as I can tell. I have also reported this to the devs internally now and we're discussing what this could be. I'll update you with any details on the matter.

    Best regards,
