I can clearly see this is not the first thread that the device is not recognized in Fastboot mode. I have tried almost all sensible options I found so far, still no luck.
OP6, updated to the latest build, Oxygen OS 10.3.6, Build number OnePlus A6003_22_201004

I have Pixel XL that works flawlessly (adb as well as fastboot) on the same machine with the same cable and USB port.

- Trying to unlock the bootloader.
- Got the latest Platform Tools, to be sure that I have the latest versions
- Downloaded OnePlus 6 drivers from OnePlus website
- Installed WinUSB drivers using Zadig (https://zadig.akeo.ie/), thinking I am too stupid to be able to install simple drivers
- Disabled Windows 10 driver signature verification, in case thats an issue.
- Installed systemwide ADB and Fastboot using Minimal adb and fastboot.

Screenshots before and after putting the phone in Fastboot mode.



AFTER




The device goes from OnePlus to Android.

Tried updating the driver using the Update Driver option using usb_driver_r13-windows.zip file. It claimed already has updated drivers.

What else is left for me to try? I am considering to factory reset the phone, just in case anything is messed up after the latest update last week.

Thanks a lot for scratching your head for me. Appreciate all help.
