Samsung GalaxyBook Pro 360 on Windows 11 not attaching to WearAuthn on Samsung Watch 4 on Wear 3.0

[oluwadiya]

What went wrong?

I have a Samsung GalaxyBook Pro 360 running Windows 11 paired with Samsung galaxy watch 4 running Wear 3.0. When selecting GalaxyBook in the WearAuthn app, it just stays at "Attaching". The computer shows that the watch is connected. I have paired and unpaired and I have reinstalled Wearauthn to no avail.
NB: I tried the "Make discoverable" trick. It didn't work as well

Steps to reproduce

1. Install app on watch
2. Connected the computer and the watch on Bluetooth
3. Click on the Computer in the list of devices
4. Click "Make discoverable"

Which model is your watch?
If you don't know your watch's model, you can find it under Settings -> System -> About.
Galaxy Watch 4
Which Android version is running on your watch?
You can find it under Settings -> System -> About -> Version.
Wear 3.0
Which version of WearAuthn are you using?
You can find the version of WearAuthn you are currently using in the About screen available from the app's main menu.
0.9.17
Screenshots
If you think that it could be useful, consider adding a screenshot. To take a screenshot of your watch, open the "Wear OS by Google" app on your phone, open the ⋮ menu in the top right and select "Take screenshot of watch". After a few seconds, you will receive a notification on your phone that allows you to download or share the screenshot.

Thanks for the report!

Have you tried connecting your watch to other devices? It would be interesting to know whether this likely a problem specific to this watch model or a problem specific to this combination of laptop and watch model.

so a quick question did it work?

It seems to be a windows 11 issue I think because on windows 10 it works fine.

I don't have access to a Windows 11 device atm, but will give this a try when I get the chance. Windows keeps locking down access to non-standard FIDO devices more and more, so I wouldn't be surprised if there isn't much to do against it unfortunately.

Check in bluetooth advanced profiles if a hid device is causing issues (CODE10) and reset that. I'll provide instructions later on how to find it.
