Dennis,
it is a USB-C connector. It should be reversible, with semi-circular, rather than sloping, ends to the socket & plug. Most modern mobile phones use these nowadays, since the possibility of plugging in upside down is eliminated by design.
You might try using a mobile phone charger, or a powered USB hub, or another computer or other device. There are reports of issues with USB hardware on computers not recognising devices, which might be the issue you are having.

Got my nifty NanoVNA yesterday. The unit works but it will not charge the battery nor will it be recognized by my Win PC. I suspect the USB cable is bad, but it could be the connector on the board. Anyone else experience this or have a ¡°fix¡±. I don¡¯t recognize the type of connector on the unit.
