Win10 system, Wahoo Kickr - on the current update.

TPV shows all connections available (BLE, ANT, DirectConnect)

if I choose DC, it will connect/pair (and Wahoo App confirms "this device is connected via another app"), but power/cadence data = 0, despite my independently connected power meter (quarq) showing a power value >0.

some infuriating unknown cycle of restarting the app, restarting the computer, restarting the kickr sometimes resolves this (3+ attempts)

I have ensured there are no other BLE connections to the kickr.

I can connect to zwift across any channel (BLE, ANT, DC) just fine.

this all started around early Dec-2025

I hoped this was a one-off but i have not had a seamless connecting experience since mid-December (after nearly 2yrs of perfect connections)
