    Windows keeps enabling handfree for Bluetooth device


    I'm on Windows 11 24H2, build 26100.2605.I have these bluetooth headphones that work great, but whenever I use them on Windows, they always get set on the "Hands Free" mode, even if their microphone isn't used, and even if my default microphone is another one. The only way I have to fix this is to go to Devices > More Devices > Click on my Headphones > Services > Disable Hands Free. However, this gets reset every time i reboot my computer. I don't need HF mode, I have a good external microphone: would there be any way to permanently disable this possibly for all Bluetooth devices

    :)
