Bluetooth does not work after computer Wakes from Sleep or Hibernate.

Question

Pretty much the title. Bluetooth no longer works after computer wakes from Sleep or Hibernate. I have already tried DISM, sfc & restarting Bluetooth servcies. Nothing works. Trying to stop or restart any Bluetooth service just returns an error. How do I fix this?

Answer 1

Do to my slightly de bloated Windows I did not have access to Window's Troubleshooter. Unfortunately I did not see your reply trying the safe mode option. I instead downloaded a Windows 11 iso, put it on a USB drive, did a reinstall from desktop, kept files and apps. Bluetooth now seems to be working like normal. I will report back if things change. Thank you for your help still.

Greetings, Dastardly! My name is Arif, and I will assist you today.

I am sorry to hear that you are facing this issue. Is your Bluetooth turned on, but it is not connecting to any device you are trying to connect to?

If you are attempting to connect a device to your computer via Bluetooth, does it appear on the active list of your computer's Bluetooth devices? If it does, are there any error messages displayed when attempting to connect?

1. Try to run Hardware and Device Troubleshooter:

• Press Start, search for Command Prompt
• Right-click and run as administrator
• Type: msdt.exe -id DeviceDiagnostic
• Run the troubleshooter
• Restart your PC

2. Tyr to Boot into Safe Mode:

• Press Windows key+R to open Run, type: msconfig
• Under Boot tab, check Safe Boot
• Restart your computer (it will boot into Safe mode)
• Drivers will be installed automatically
• Press Windows key+R, type: msconfig
• Under Boot tab, uncheck Safe Boot
• Restart your computer again to boot in Normal Mode
• Check if the Bluetooth issue is resolved.
