How to fix Windows 11 Bluetooth

Question

Ever since starting on Windows 11, I've noticed many connection issues with Bluetooth. Headphones won't get picked up by Windows 11, when they're connected the sound won't work properly (cutting in and out, completely cutting out for up to five minutes before starting again, etc...). I've followed all the help topics I could, re-installed drivers, you name it... and nothing.

My question is why do my devices work well with older windows products, all Apple products I try and all Android products, yet Windows 11 somehow made Bluetooth a mess? I expect a lot more from this product, especially when using top of the line bluetooth devices. Windows really needs to address this issue, as it's a very common complaint when searching online.

Hello,

System and device compatibility is important for external devices to work properly. Please check below:

1. Patch your windows system fully with windows update, it would be helpful for fixing some known issues and improving the system performance.
2. Check and update drivers, including bios, firmware etc.
3. Visit the Bluetooth device vendor's website to see if there are additional drivers available that are compatible or suitable for that version of the windows system.
4. Re-start system in clean boot to determine whether a background program is interfering with your device.
