    rename bluetooth device

    Unfortunately, the name change only lasts as long as I have the computer on. Once either re-booted or totally turned off and restarted, the original names are back. I followed all the steps outlined in the link you provided. This must be a Windows 11 problem because even if the renamed Bluetooth item is off and out of the area, Windows 11 still lists the item with its original name after rebooting or restarting, so it can't be 're-reading' from the device. My guess is that once an item is paired, Windows 11 stores that name somewhere that remains immutable until the device is removed from Windows 11 and that when Win11 starts up, it pulls from this catch the named items as they were originally read during pairing.

  3. Rename bluetooth device (surface pro 3, windows 10)

    That is exactly what i did but lemme explain how i did it

    • Pull up control panel on the device u have connected your Bluetooth speaker/headsetto.
    • Rename your device
    • Then pull up your Bluetooth settings
    • disconnect your Bluetooth speaker/headset
    • then reconnect your Bluetooth speaker/headset
    and there you go your renamed device should pop up on your screen!

    Rename Sound Devices

    I've figured out how to rename Bluetooth devices, but I can't figure out how to rename speakers.

    My speaker list shows up as follows in the sound icon:
    • Echo Cancelling Speakerphone (2 - DELL PROFESSIONAL SOUND BAR AE515) - twice
    • Microphone (4 - SpeechMike III)
    • Microphone (Logitech BRIO)
    • Microphone Array (Realtek Audio)
    • Speakers (4 - SpeechMike III)
    • Speakers / Headphones (Realtek Audio)

    Depending on which SpeechMike I'm using (wireless vs wired), it will show up as 3 (wired) or 5 (wireless with second base).

    Is there a way to rename any of these devices? I've yet to find a way.
