Garmin Forerunner 305 and Garmin Express

Not sure what has happened, but cannot upload rides from my 305 to Garmin or Strava.
Garmin Express tells me the 305 has the latest software and that it has synced "just now" but there are at least 3 rides today and yesterday that I cannot see on Garmin or Strava.
Sometimes when I plug it back in again I get a message saying "There was an error syncing with Garmin Express" but no more than that.
Trying to get on to Garmin Support is just impossible. There are so many menus and sub menus you lose patience before you find anything helpful.
I did try Windows 10 for 24 hours but uninstalled it as it messed a lot of stuff up.
If I try to upload through Garmin Connect it takes me to a page to download Garmin Express which I have already got.
Two days ago, I would just switch on, connect the 305, put the kettle on and when I came back it was all uploaded. I'm going spare!

I have the same problem with my 405, sometimes it uploads and at other times it doesn't . One option is to try and force an upload from the watch but this can take a little while.0

No idea how to do that, can you explain? Any why is your name so close to mine?! I thought I had replied to myself with some amazing solution I had no idea about!0 -
Bloody thing's come back to life! :rolleyes::eek:
Don't know what I did in the end. I cleared every ride down off the unit. I then fired up Garmin Training Center for the first time in 2 years and it told me there were un-downloaded rides on the unit, would I like to dl them? I did that but then couldn't see any files after 2013. I then uninstalled Garmin Express, left it overnight.
Went for a fantastic ride off road on the Downs yesterday, used the Garmin as normal, and plugged in when I got home. Garmin Traning Center showed the ride and I then reinstalled Garmin Express and bingo, files uploaded. If it had got wet, maybe the water had dried out (yesterday was bloody hot) or maybe clearing down all the files fixed it.0
