For security reason services like Bluetooth and Wi-Fi are off by default but you could enable them and test them out. In case you have access to a Windows 10 PC, open start and open the Feedback Hub app and in the category select Windows Server and file a bug report and if you have any log files like errors, then attach it to the report, so Windows Server team would be able to investigate it.

    Reza_Ameri I can support this issue partly.
    If you have a bluetooth radio (usb dongle) and install the latest Server 2022 LTSC preview it will work.
    if you upgrade from 2019 LTSC to 2022 LTSC preview the same dongle will not work, and there is no way to make it work (driver issue in device manager)

      I have a fresh install of Windows Server 2022 LTSC and even with a USB dongle, it fails to connect.

        Same basic situation here. Some things like MS keyboard and mouse connect some how just fine but other blue tooth devices will not. Most will not pair as well. I bought now a bluetooth dongle but it too has no driver for WS2022 and cannot get one yet. Also I am about to buy a combo 6e BT 5.2 card but so far every one i research does not have drivers listed. I did see a 6 e with BT 4.2 card and they list a driver for 2019 and I think 2022 as well.
