hey folks. I posted this to /r/techsupport on reddit and for some reason they say they don't support Windows 11 Enterprise... and it took them a day to tell me instead of using automod. I thought this was both funny and the dumbest thing. Anyway, here's a fun little issue I'm trying to sort out.
Windows 11 Enterprise 22h2 (22621.3810)
About two weeks ago my bluetooth decided not to pair with anything. It will see devices and try to pair, but it never goes through.
I have tried:
- a different wireless card / bt combo (PCIE)
- removing the wireless / bt combo and using a bt dongle
- removing all drivers (show hidden devices etc), rebooting clean, reinstalling
- changing the USB connection to the mobo for the PCIE card
- live boot of latest Ubuntu LTS -- successfully paired DS4 controller
The event logs for Bluetooth Policy are all positive (e.g. A connection to a remote device 0xA4538553B7FD was successfully established) -- but nothing is paired.
This happened on a day when I added two HDDs to the box and ran updates etc. I also tried everything above without the drives installed without any luck.
Any ideas?
