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?

So there was an updated driver for the wireless adapter (realtek) and once it was installed suddenly a driver for Bluetooth showed up, and once it was installed and the system rebooted and Bluetooth was there again. Also the Bluetooth adapter is Realtek, not Intel

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:

    • Nice! My $100 refurbished iPad 8 that I bought last year for a small project (and still runs like new cuz it's been mostly in storage the past several months) will get this v26 upgrade. I'm definitely gonna scope out OS26 on this device before upgrading my also-supported refurbished iPhone SE 3rd Gen (only got it for the 5G UW support).

    • Hello, I am guessing this is the result of using a third-party tweaking tool instead of changing things within Windows settings. Windows 11 has a decent set of configuration options for the display, but they tend to be scattered throughout the operating system due to fragmentation of product ownership/inconsistent standards being applied by Microsoft. There are a few places in Windows 11 where you can modify the various display settings in order to get them to your liking: Under Settings → System → Display you can stroll down to the Scale & layout section and change the Scale and Display resolution settings to whatever you prefer.  For the Scale option, you can click on the text box to choose between the various pre-populated settings.  If none of those are exactly what you are looking for, click on the caret ("") caret to open the Custom scaling setting (also available under Settings → Display → Custom scaling).  I would recommend this as an option of last resort as this can cause display issues in various programs. I strongly recommend using the screen's native Display resolution here; it should show up as the "(Recommended)" resolution.  If it does not, you may need to install your monitor's profile information file (basically, a device driver for your monitor) to get the correct setting. Another place to look at making changes to fonts is under Accessiblity → Text size.  There is a slider bar for changing the text size from 100% to 225% there. You can try making changes to the ClearType settings.  It's a little bit finer-grained than the others, but it may make the text easier to view on the display.  Run the ClearType Text Tuner (filename: CTTUNE.EXE) and go through the wizard. You may want to do this several times under different lighting conditions or times of the day to figure out what works best for you overall. Lastly, you may want to look into using a dedicated assistive screen technology program from a third-party.  Microsoft provides a Screen Magnifier and a Narrator for text-to-speech, but they provide only basic functionality, and you may find that a third-party program works a lot better.  The pros of this is that third-party assistive technology programs tend to work quite well under Windows; Microsoft has historically worked closely with third-party developers of assistive technologies.  The cons of this are that such tools tend to be on the expensive side, since they are often sold to schools, businesses, or paid for by insurance companies, not individuals. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky  
    • Totally agree with you. I think people, especially on tech sites, need to realize that they’re the minority. Microsoft isn’t going to waste time on things that, in the big picture, don’t matter to the majority.
