Laptop cannot detect Kindle Fire HD 8.9 in Device Manager

I have an old 8.9" Kindle Fire HD (model 3HT7G) and it is stuck in a recovery boot loop. I have found a way to get it out of this loop, but I need to use my laptop. The problem is, when I plug in my device, it does not appear in Device Manager and there is no indication that the device has been detected by the computer. The only thing that happens is that the Kindle starts to boot up (as standard for when you plug it in). Is there any way I can fix it? Maybe drivers are the issue, but I installed the USB drivers and adb drivers and I have tried all the methods I have found online...
