OK, then run Linux in a VM on the work MS box.

Run MS OS like an app, inside a VM. Retain your Linux install.

First time installing solaar last week. Was from package manager on Trisquel(deb based).

All installed and detected automatically. Probably the same under Fedora.

Try a purge/uninstall of solaar, and then put the dongle in before you reinstall.

(Random aside. If your PC auto-resumes after suspend, it may have picked up a logitech keyboard from another room. Unpair it from your dongle)
