    Why does Windows 11 not display two options for Bluetooth devices, specifically "headset...


    In Windows 10, both 'headset stereo' and 'headset handsfree' were available for bluetooth headsets. However, in Windows 11, these options are not displayed any more. Is there a way to switch between these two options during a call or while listening to music in Windows 11? Alternatively, has the need for such switching been eliminated?

    :)

    Bluetooth Device is removed from Network Adapters when Bluetooth is turned on - Windows 11

    I have a new laptop with Windows 11, and the behavior for the Bluetooth Network Adapter is not behaving as expected.

    The issue is:

    "In order to disable the Bluetooth Device from the Device Manager, the Bluetooth needs to be turned OFF to display the device in the list of Network Adapter."

    Is this a bug?

    On the Windows 11 system I have, the Bluetooth Device will only display in the list of Network Adapters when the Bluetooth Device is ENABLED and OFF.

    The Bluetooth option was working correctly, the Bluetooth option is available in the Settings and turned ON.

    When I opened the Device Manager, the Bluetooth Device was not listed in the Device Manager under Network Adapters.

    The Bluetooth option is still available in the Settings allowing me to change the Bluetooth OFF and ON.

    When I go to the Settings and turn the Bluetooth OFF, the Device Manager is updated and the Bluetooth Device is now displayed in the list of Network Adapters.

    If I return to the Settings and turn the Bluetooth ON, the Network Adapter for the Bluetooth Device is removed from the list of Network Adapters again.

    This was not the behavior I expected. I get the same results using the Bluetooth ON/OFF or the Airplane Mode settings for the Bluetooth ON/OFF.

    Basically, when the Bluetooth Device is ENABLED and ON, it is NOT displaying in the list of Adapters.

    The Bluetooth needs to be ENABLED and OFF in order to locate the Network Adapter in the Device Manager.

    The Bluetooth Device itself is working correctly; however the device is not listed in the Device Manager when it is ENABLED, ON, and working.

    Is this a bug? This is only occurring on my Windows 11 laptop. The Windows 10 displays the Bluetooth Device in the Device Manager when it is ENABLED, and does not change if the Bluetooth Device is switched ON or OFF .

    Thank you in Advance.
