I have followed these steps to change my Bluetooth device names:
Use the search feature and search for Control panel.
These steps worked, however, it only lasts until I turn off my laptop and when I turn it back on, it just reverts back to the original names again. Is there any way to prevent this?
This is important for me since my sister and I share the laptop and also have the same kind of headphones. It's hard to tell them apart when trying to connect since they have the same name.
P.S I use Windows 11.
UPDATE 1: I just noticed that I have the same issue on my desktop so this isn't a laptop issue, it's something that has to do with the programming or whatever you call it (sorry I don't know the proper terminology).
UPDATE 2: I posted a feedback request asking for a permanent solution to change Bluetooth device names: https://aka.ms/AAnlcde Please upvote this so we can make this solution possible! Thank you!

Hi, MontserRat03
Welcome to the MicroSoft Community.
Modifying the Bluetooth name does not work after the computer reboot, this is a normal phenomenon, it is the design of the Windows product, if you by the demand, please look for applications that support modifying the name of the Bluetooth device to change, of course, if you hope that the function can be improved, you can submit your ideas and suggestions through the [**Feedback Hub**](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/send-feedback-to-microsoft-with-the-feedback-hub-app-f59187f8-8739-22d6-ba93-f66612949332 "support.microsoft.com"), and the development team will regularly review submissions for ideas or fixes.
Please share the feedback link here after submitting as it will allow others on the forum to vote for your submission, including me. More votes will lead to more visibility and higher priority to the development team.

Can you please clarify this makes no sense. How long after the reboot will I be able to rename the device?
Hi, MontserRat03
I'm happy to hear from you, I've already voted for you through the Feedback Hub, and you can forward the link to your friends and family so they can help you out. I'm also looking forward to the product development engineers making improvements to the feature of modifying Bluetooth device names as soon as possible, and I'd love to see you have a pleasant experience using Windows.
Best Regards

Thank you for your vote Martin! :) I look forward to seeing future changes. Regardless of this issue, I am still happy with Windows 11.
