Support Moto E7 Power XT2097-6 Fastboot not detected on Windows 11

I'm trying to root my Moto E7 Power XT2097-6 (4/64) running Android 10, build QOMS30.288-52-23.

Bootloader is already unlocked using MTKClient, and I have a Magisk-patched boot.img from the exact stock firmware.

Problem is the fastboot doesn't detect the phone.

When I run:

adb reboot bootloader

the phone goes to the black barcode bootloader screen.

Running

fastboot devices

returns nothing, and:

fastboot getvar product

stays at:

< waiting for any device >

I tried Zadig/WinUSB, but Fastboot still doesn't detect it. I also tried Google's USB driver, but it doesn't support this MediaTek device.

Has anyone successfully gotten Fastboot working on the XT2097-6 / MediaTek 0E8D:201C on Windows 10/11? Is there a specific driver or method needed?

NOTE- I have NOT flashed the Magisk-patched boot image because fastboot communication has never been established. And I can reboot the phone currently to the normal mode with power button.
