Has MS put out a corrupt update ?
My Bluetooth headphones have suddenly stopped working ......
I am running Win 11 24H2  - previously I was able to connect to my headphones with no issues
I have tried the Windows help files with no success

If I was half as smart as I think I am - I'd be twice as smart as I REALLY am.

    Have you tried connecting them to an alternative device?

    Is Device Manager showing any issue with Bluetooth?

    Checked for a driver update? Microsoft don’t always provide updates for everyone’s drivers.
