Description

Hi sandeepmistry , thank you for your amazing and useful work !

During a secure Write, it's not crashing, it's not getting disconnected except after 40 seconds, but the onWriteRequest event is never triggered.

Central : Android 4.4.2 Peripheral : Windows 7 Pro SP1 + External BLE adaptater

Debug Logs (including some smtp logs): DebugLogs.txt

Any solutions?

PS: Do you have any tools on windows to perform an HCI dump capture ?

Research direction
Investigate the Windows BLE stack and how bleno handles secure writes. Look at the bleno source code, especially the Windows adapter implementation, to see how onWriteRequest is registered. The issue mentions no HCI dump tool on Windows; consider using Wireshark with BLE capture or Microsoft's Bluetooth logs. Check if there are any known issues with secure write on Windows in the noble/bleno ecosystem. The issue is from 2016 and has only one comment, so it may be stale; verify if the problem persists with current Node.js and Windows versions.
