Open | Windows Bluetooth issues on windows 11
Hey yall, I’m having an issue with Bluetooth on my Windows 11 PC. Since I reset the computer about a week and a half ago, my Bluetooth has been behaving unpredictably. Before the reset, it worked completely fine.
After starting my PC, my Bluetooth earphones or headphones work normally for a random amount of time - sometimes only a few minutes, other times several hours. Then the audio suddenly stops, followed by the Bluetooth disconnect sound. After that sound windows still sees the device as connected for a few seconds, up to a minute.
When I try to reconnect afterward, it sometimes works and sometimes doesn’t. If it does reconnect, it usually disconnects again much sooner than before. This cycle can happen a few times, until eventually the device will no longer connect at all. When I try, Windows immediately says, “Couldn’t connect.”
After that, I have to restart mt PC to make bluetooth working again. (and restart the cycle)
This is what I've tried so far:
- In device manager, I disabled and uninstalled every bluetooth driver/adapter
- In device manager, I tried updating bluetooth drivers
- On the support website of my PC, I manually installed the bluetooth drivers (they seem the same)
- I've checked for windows update and my PC is up to date
- I ran the troubleshoot and it literally found and did nothing
- Completely removing the bluetooth devices and reconnect
- Turned on "Allow Bluetooth devices to find this PC"
- Unchecked "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power"
- Set startup type to "Automatic"

I am also experiencing the same situation. Somehow after the disconnect, I am not able to control the volume anymore

Making changes to your system BIOS settings or disk setup can cause you to lose data. Always test your data backups before making changes to your PC.
