'my BLE dongle is for some reason not recognised by Windows/Chrome'
So as the Chrome app functions on the mobile phone, it seems to be BLE that is the issue, also confirmed with the dongle now not functioning.
FYI The last Windows10 update (~circa six weeks ago) had me in fits, and had to uninstall the BLE 4.1 driver and re-install it to get the external dongle to work again. If memory serves, I had to play with Settings >> Add Device (and remove - (un)pair) many times also. This might correspond with the 'maybe 2 months or so' successful comment.
Incidentally, I just re-read the content at the link posted in #3 and the instructions there state the relay is for the phone and the WebIDE is for the PC running BLE. Now I'm a bit confused by the comment in post #4 'The normal IDE works fine' If it actually works 'fine' then it should connect, shouldn't it? . . . or, . . . did you mean it just launches without error?

As @Robin pointed out with the link, its for relaying the IDE in case you don't have an working BLE adapter, just like my old laptop.
Well no, I'm trying to connect to my Pixl from my old laptop using my mobile phone with the relay page. I am pretty sure I already successfully tested this a while ago (maybe 2 months or so)
The normal IDE works fine, but can't connect directly because my laptops bluetooth does not support LE and my BLE dongle is for some reason not recognised by Windows/Chrome
EDIT: Btw: I can connect to the Pixl using the Chrome app on my phone with the WebIDE, but of course it's not really efficient to develop on it.
