Bluetooth not enabling


Recommended Posts

My motherboard is an Asus ROG Crosshair Hero VII, it has built in Bluetooth, but for some reason Windows can not detect it anymore. I have a pair of bluetooth headphones that I use on the desktop, and suddenly they are not showing up, and when I go to the settings within Windows, the option to turn on/off Bluetooth is not there, and Windows tells me that it is not enabled. I have checked in the UEFI and Bluetooth controller is enabled, and I know that this has worked before (I have used it many different times), I even downloaded the bluetooth drivers directly from Asus, but even the installer software says that it is not available. I am at a loss for what to do next, there is a UEFI?BIOS update available and I will update it later on today, but besides that I can not figure out what else could be creating the issue.

I had the same thing happen to my bluetooth speakers. Mint 19.1 here. It just worked for ~5 months, and then it keeps losing connection.

 

I would take the drivers off, and re-add them. Only thing I can think of.

Nothing in device manager as far as Bluetooth and no problems showing either.

I had exactly the same issue today for the first time. Uninstalled drivers, re-installed ... rebooted... nothing helped.. so, i powered off my machine for about 20 minutes, including pulling power from the PSU. Powered up again, and all is fine again! Not sure what / why.

 

Give that a go, and see??

so I did check the manual for the motherboard
https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/SocketAM4/ROG_CROSSHAIR-VII-HERO/E13835_ROG_CROSSHAIR_VII_HERO_UM_WEB.pdf

 

the only text inside this manual is this test "The BIOS setup program does not support the Bluetooth devices"

do you run Windows 10 and what version?
check Windows version click start run write winver then is should say what Windows is running and what version

If you use a USB adapter for your Bluetooth headphones, something must have triggered this problem with the Bluetooth headset
if you are running Windows 10 has the computer been updated recently?

the exact model name is needed to be able to identify your exact motherboard and to help you more there are several different models of this motherboard you also choose not to share this information, it is much more difficult to help you

I did provide the exact model, however, since the issue resolved itself, I feel confident that it was a drivers issue. But just to appease you, here:

    • What annoys me is the people that try to buy a higher end product, and then low ball you, and say but I don't need that function, all I need is to use it for video out so I don't feel like paying higher price.   I had a person that was trying to buy RTX 3080 from me for $100 and his excuse was, well I won't be playing games on it, I just need four monitor outout. Or someone was trying to buy 2TB Gen5 M.2 for $50, well I don't need the speed, is just for basic storage. Or i was offered $80 for 20TB hard drive, that person said well, right now I only about 7TB, so rest won't be in use Just some examples in last month or two...   The guy with the 3080, I replied to with something like go to Chevy dealer and offer them $15K for that brand new corvette and tell them that you you only need to drive to work, so you don't need to go fast.   There a lot of low ballers that try to take advantage.

    • Here in Finland we have lots of rural areas with narrow roads, one of the highest taxes in the world (cars are taxed way above EU standards) and fuel is quite expensive. Yet we educate our drivers to drive responsibly and safely in all areas, and our people respect each others rights and freedom to move around safely. Which is why we have even small children under 10 years old walking and cycling alone to schools in the streets, even in big cities. Safety is about being responsible and about respecting others. And I would hate to see AI (or anyone else) destroy our way of life. There are and always will be outliers, accidents happen and machines break. I dont't want to see people relying on AI to do things like driving for them. I want people to think and react to the world around them themselves, and being responsible instead of them browsing TikTok or whatever instead of looking out the window, and then saying that "It wasn't me, it was the car". Already people walk around town with their eyes glued to a screen – I don't want people driving around the same way.
    • And I should hope none will. I don't want to walk ouside to have some randome AI drive over me and mine. Not that I want a person to do it either but I want there to be an actual person who takes responsibility of their actions instead of relinquishing control to a machine. In some highways I can accept self-driving, but even then there should be some kind of dead man switch etc. that actually monitors the drivers status.
