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:

    • And we think AI can take over lower level programmers jobs? Just search for the SHA hash for the "rogue" sound file and delete it.
    • Meta will use AI to summarize your WhatsApp messages by David Uzondu Recently, Meta announced that ads are coming to WhatsApp, appearing in Status and Channels. Now, another update is on its way, this time in the form of a new feature called "Message Summaries", that leverages Meta's AI to summarize your chats for you. For those moments when you are drowning in unread messages, you can choose to have the AI generate a quick summary to get the gist of a conversation. To address the immediate privacy alarms this sets off, Meta says that its "Private Processing technology" will be used. This supposedly ensures that neither Meta nor WhatsApp can see your original messages or the private summaries the AI generates. To prove its sincerity, Meta published a deep technical white paper that explains how this privacy is supposed to be maintained. In the technical documentation, Meta explains the way it works is built on "Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs)". These TEEs are essentially secure, isolated black boxes running on a server, powered by hardware like NVIDIA H100 GPUs. Your phone establishes a direct, encrypted connection to one of these TEEs, sends the message data for processing, and receives the summary. Meta's own administrators and other systems supposedly cannot peek inside this box. And when the job is done, no message is retained. The security of the entire system hinges on being able to trust that this TEE is what it claims to be. Meta's system uses a process called remote attestation. Before your phone sends any data, it demands proof from the server. This proof is a cryptographic report, signed by the hardware itself, verifying that the TEE is running the exact, unmodified software that Meta has publicly logged with a third party like Cloudflare. Only if that proof checks out does the connection proceed. Users will have control over this process. The feature is off by default, and a setting under "Advanced Chat Privacy" will let you specify which chats can be shared for AI features. Message Summaries is currently rolling out in English for users in the US, with Meta planning for a global expansion sometime next year.
    • It's never a good sign when the developer is gaslighting its customers.
    • Unpopular (or maybe popular?) opinion: I prefer Windows Vista's startup chime than W11.
    • Well I tried New Outlook a bit in the past, But was concerned on the privacy aspect with Gmail Imap and Comcast.net email going to Microsoft Servers. I've been using Outlook Classic since 1997 on my Personal systems, so for now think will stick with that, but i could get used to New Outlook i think fairly quickly if i forced to in the future. Anyhow who knows maybe it will be as good as Outlook Classic in the future, never know
