    Desktop's Bluetooth Broken Only on Windows


    So my desktop PC's Bluetooth is entirely broken when using Windows 11, even after a completely fresh install. I know it isn't the PC's Bluetooth module, because when running any other operating system such as any Linux distribution, for example, the Bluetooth works flawlessly. Running the troubleshooter doesn't seem to detect anything.

    Bluetooth in windows 10

    My computer specs are as listed in the profile. I think all of you guys are correct. I don't have built-in Bluetooth in mobo.

    I contacted skull candy headphones and thy have told me if I do not have built-in Bluetooth, I would need a dongle which supports at least a2dp. I do not know what the heck that means. I have a feeling I would need more than a cheap dongle.

    Anyone suggest some a2dp adapters. I searched but don't know what a2dp is so couldn't make a decision

    USB-BT211 Mini Bluetooth Dongle - Support

    • Support A2DP for Wireless Stereo Music Playback
    Edit: This is a dongle with old BT version I see now, but I'm sure you can find a Asus BT4.0 version.

    Edit2:

    @aasim1111 I have this one, it doesn't show that it supports A2DP in the specs but I think it'll work, otherwise send a mail to Asus and ask.
