    Permanently visible to Bluetooth devices

    Hello, If Bluetooth is on, there is an option in Win10 via 'devices>bluetooth and other devices>more bluetooth settings>bluetooth settings/options' under 'detection' to check or uncheck "bluetooth devices can find this pc" which makes the pc visible or not visible to bluetooth devices. This feature does not work. regardless of whether I have this option checked or not my PC is visible to all bluetooth devices. In Windows 10, for both my HP Elitebook and the W10 on Windows bootcamp on my iMac, I have "devices can find this PC" unchecked. Yet both devices are findable with the greatest of ease. I have checked and unchecked it a few times but it makes no difference. Anyone have an idea what the problem could be? Is there any other way to be invisible to unpaired devices?

    Bluetooth disappears from Windows 11 (laptop) after pairing with new device

    Hello

    I have had no problems with Bluetooth on Windows 11 22H2 previously on this specific laptop.

    Recently however I had tried to add my new Logitech K380 Bluetooth keyboard. Upon pairing with it, after a few minutes, the following was observed:

    • Bluetooth ON-OFF button/option was not visible on the action center
    • Bluetooth ON-OFF button/option was not visible in the settings app
    • Bluetooth was not visible on Device manager (even under hidden devices)
    I had tried the following but failed.

    • Restarting windows.
    • Troubleshooting via settings app
    • Trying to add legacy device through device manager
    • Checking for updates but none were available at the time
    • Uninstalling some updates whichever was visible inside the settings app.
    • Resetting windows but with the option of keeping my data
    • tried to install the respective drivers from the logitech website
    • tinkering with services in windows
    Only upon resetting my laptop with the option of NOT keeping my data that I was able to see the Bluetooth button in action center, settings, etc.

    Please suggest some suggestion as to what can be done. Much appreciated. Thank you.
