Windows 11 rant:

My home mini pc is having Bluetooth issues from last 6-7 months after some update. I can't go back, tried every possible solutions. Best option: wait for them to fix it.

The issue: Sometimes if the Windows boot normally, Bluetooth won't turn on. I have to force restart to have it on. My guess is it's trying to optimize the power or something. I gave up.

My other laptop and work computer are still Windows 10, so some sanity left. I have installed kubuntu on another spare laptop and slowing moving towards linux entirely.

I had the same bluetooth issue on windows 11. It stopped working. I didn't even have the option to see the bluetooth setting. All my peripherals stopped working and I had to bring out the cables. Then one day after a month or so it was fixed.

Perhaps try a clean Win11 install using latest updates on an external drive, to see if that fixes your Bluetooth. Sometimes Windows borks itself and everything needs to be reinstalled.
