resolved this. If your PI recognised as a COM port device, you will need to install extra drivers

  1. RNDIS Driver
  2. Bonjour Service (Apple Inc.)

Then your PI will be recognised a network device and then ssh should start to work

I noticed you said the usb was not the power-port. If you connect the usb-c power-port it can provide power and data. Maybe an interesting solution for you?

If you like to have an introduction to this, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A3qn1nqw-Gw this is focussed on iPad, but it should work with Windows in a similar way.
