Windows 11 pc Apple devices does not detect iPhone 15

This is what worked for me. I had to turn off all of the windows firewalls and anti-virus programs. Plugged in my iphone and opened the apple devices app and it finally recognized that I had my iphone plugged into my hp laptop. Make sure to turn all the Windows antivirus and firewalls back on when you're done updating your iphone. I suffered very long without updating my playlists/music and this was a great discovery for me. I almost switched to an android cell phone.

Open the Bluetooth Settings in Windows while your iphone is plugged in. If you see it on the list of devices, Remove Device. Then unplug your phone and plug it in again. That fixed it for me, weirdly.

I propose a new term for that behaviour: logrolling.

My reply would be: "It’s not my job to sort out incompatibilities between Apple and Microsoft for a product that Apple produces and that Microsoft endorses by putting it on the Microsoft store. Fixing that is Apple's job, so I'm referring YOU and Apple’s developers to Microsoft. Let me know how it goes. By the way… has anyone there even *heard* of social media?"

Hmmm…then perhaps a recent update? I am hoping that you will post anything that results from contacting Microsoft. Thank you for the update.

i.e. I think that is an update to Apple Devices which is at fault - not the update to Windows which was a while ago for me as well.

I might be having a moment of fog-brain, but how do you “uninstall iPod support from Windows 11 programs and apps”?
