"GATT Operation not authorized" problem on Windows only

[ali.sht...@gmail.com]

I have made several web Bluetooth based examples over the past few months, and they work perfectly fine on Mac and Chromebook. However, I have tried recently running them on Windows, and whenever I make an attempt to read from or write to a service with a custom UUID, it get the error "GATT Operation not authorized". 

Here is the code from one of my examples, simplified to its barebones where I am just accessing the value of a characteristic when I click a button named "Get Configuration". I have a device that implements a service and a characteristic with a the UUIDs specified in the code. From Mac and from Android this works fine, but only on Windows I am getting the error. I am using Chrom 83.0.4.

'use strict'

const configServiceUUID = '0b0b0b0b-0b0b-0b0b-0b0b-00000000aa03';

const chrConfigUUID     = '0b0b0b0b-0b0b-0b0b-0b0b-c1000000aa03';

let bleDevice;

let bleServer;

let configService;

let chrConfig;

window.onload = function(){

  document.querySelector('#connect').addEventListener('click', connect);

  document.querySelector('#read').addEventListener('click', getConfiguration);

};

async function connect() {

  try{

    bleDevice = await navigator.bluetooth.requestDevice({

          filters: [{namePrefix: 'nrf52'}],

          optionalServices: [configServiceUUID]

        });

    bleServer = await bleDevice.gatt.connect();

    configService = await bleServer.getPrimaryService(configServiceUUID);

    chrConfig = await configService.getCharacteristic(chrConfigUUID);

    log("Connected");

  }

  catch(error){

    log("Ouch! " + error);

  }

}

async function getConfiguration(){

  let config = await chrConfig.readValue(); //this returns a DataView

}

function log(text) {

    console.log(text);

    document.querySelector('#log').textContent += text + '\n';

}
