Description

Using Windows 11.25346, iPad 10.2 (7'11)

The refresh Apps button can not find AltServer, when both devices are connected by both, USB, and Wi-Fi, and the Only workaround I've found is connecting the Windows machine and iPad to the Wi-Fi at the same time. The iPad shows up in AltServer but not The Windows Machine In AltStore.

Does anyone know any workarounds / why this is happening?

Research direction

Start with the Refresh Apps action and the AltServer discovery path described in the report. Reproduce the behavior on Windows 11 with an iPad connected over both USB and Wi-Fi, then compare the working and failing connection setups. Done means identifying the cause and confirming that AltServer is found reliably in the affected setup.
