Bluetooth not working properly on Windows 11

I have a PC with Windows 11 and I'm having trouble with my bluetooth devices. All of them fail and keep connecting and disconnecting randomly. They used to work for a while, then randomly disconnect for a few seconds (sometimes even a minute or two) and then work again.

I followed the steps on these two YouTube videos (they are pretty similar):

The steps included:

  • Changing the Power settings of the Bluetooth Device and the Network adapter
  • Update drivers.
  • Set the Bluetooth User Support Services to Automatic.
  • Use CMD to flush DNS cache and reset the Winsock Catalog.

After doing this, the issue became less random (at least so far).

Now the problem is when trying to connect for the first time after turning on the PC. All my bluetooth devices (headphones and keyboard) connect and disconnect after a few seconds, over and over again.

Right now, the only way to stop that loop is to toggle Airplane Mode on and off. But if I try to connect another device (like an Xbox controller to play a bit), that device will also start connecting and disconnecting repeatedly, until I toggle Airplane Mode again.

Is there anyway to fix this?

Hi Jesus Ramos ,

Since the usual troubleshooting steps didn’t help, one thing I’d strongly recommend is installing the Bluetooth driver that matches your mainboard (or laptop) model directly from the manufacturer’s support site. Windows Update often installs a generic driver, but those don’t always work well with certain chipsets.

Please check your mainboard or system model, go to the official support page (ASUS, MSI, Dell, Lenovo, etc.), and download the Bluetooth/Wireless driver that is listed for Windows 11. After installing, restart the PC and test Bluetooth again.

This ensures you’re using the correct driver designed for your hardware, which often resolves the kind of connection issues you described.

Hope this helps!
