MPLAB X doesn't try to connect
I suspect that you have the wrong drivers for the PICKIT, I would not expect it to enumerate as a HID device. My ICD3 enumerates as a Microchip custom USB Device. Use Device Manager to uninstall the PICKIT, then disconnect it, wait 20s (Windows seems to take 10 to 20s to recognize that I have disconnected the ICD3), then plug it in again. Windows should install the device again, but hopefully with the correct drivers. Pay attention to the messages Windows gives you in case it cannot find the correct drivers, this may have happened last time.
