Windows 11
So. I'm trying to connect my PC to my iPhone so I can get everything out of my 5G, but when I try to do so, Windows 11 can't even find it at all. It can only find it when I turn on "Maximize compatibility mode" on. The problem is that then the connection is reduced to 2.4ghz instead of 5ghz. Does anyone know what could be causing this. If so please help.
