bja61 Jul 2020 5:56pm, 26 Jul 2020 120 posts	bja61 I've got all my activities over in Fetch so now I'm thinking that I will just delete them from my watch so that I don't get duplicates to deal with when (if!) Garmin comes back up. I don't use the data in Garmin Connect for anything useful so can anyone see any downsides from doing that?

You have to make sure Garmin connect is closed / quit completely as it blocks it too. I got there in the end I also had to create a folder to drag the files too as I couldn’t get them from the source file. (If copies then it doesn’t remove them)

Try another PC USB socket too. Garmins and USB can be "interesting" and, depending on the PC setup, a plugged-in Garmin can stop it booting (temporarily, whilst it's plugged in).

Lip Gloss Jul 2020 11:29pm, 26 Jul 2020 42,504 posts	Lip Gloss I was while I was away and had no access to my laptop although I have uploaded everything manually and if and when Garmin appears again I will delete duplicates. Might be like COVID and we may have to wait for a vaccine
