- I have attached a support bundle or log file
What happened?
Opening AetherControl from settings AetherControl opens panel but selecting Detect does not recognize the External FlexControl..

The ability to connect to external FlexControl and to configure it for operation.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue with the listed FLEX-8600, Windows 11 setup and attached support log, then inspect the AetherControl panel behavior for Detect, Mode, and On/Off. Done means the external FlexControl is recognized and the reported function buttons operate correctly, with the remaining buttons checked for regressions.
