Midi Control App Windows not creating midi port

Hi there, i have the midi control software for mac working perfectly fine and then i also installed on it on a windows machine as i need two different machines to be able to send messages and control the board.

On the windows machine i can install it, select avantis, select tcp, it finds the avantis, i check the connect box and it shows connected.

However the midi port i expect to be created and available is not there. I tried using midi viewer app and another app to find it but its not there.

Any ideas?
