    Hi Lorenzo,

    After checking your system specs, I noticed that your motherboard Gigabyte Z390 AORUS ELITE does not come with built-in Bluetooth. That explains why installing a Bluetooth driver hasn’t worked so far.

    You can follow these quick steps to double-check the hardware status:

    • Press Win + X, then open Device Manager
    • Expand "Bluetooth":
      • If it’s missing, your system doesn’t have Bluetooth hardware
      • If there’s an unknown device, you might have hardware, but the correct driver is missing

    If you don’t have Bluetooth hardware:

    Consider buying a Bluetooth USB dongle (e.g., TP-Link UB500 or Asus USB-BT500)

    Plug it in — Windows should install the necessary drivers automatically

    If you’ve added a Bluetooth PCIe card recently:

    • Open Device Manager, then check:
      • Under "Network Adapters": Look for something like Intel Wireless-AC/AX...
      • Under "Other devices": If you see Bluetooth Peripheral or Unknown Device, it likely needs drivers
    • Download the correct drivers directly from the Intel website.

    Hope this helps you get Bluetooth working soon!
