Why does my BT show as having an issue in Device Manager on Windows 11?
I have this on 2 different Windows 11 machines - different hardware, different BT units.
If I uninstall the device, it will come up fine if I rescan

It does this 22.150.0 as well as 22.120.3
But when I reboot it goes back to the same thing. I've tried downloading the latest drivers and installing but it does the same thing on reboot.
- So it turns out I was being a dork. I image my disk to several typs of pcs and laptops. Usually I just keep adding drivers to the image file until all my machines work. Usually I don't need to uninstall any drivers for my hardware to come up OK but in this case, I needed to uninstall a widcom driver package.
- Bipin-prakashBrass ContributorWhat if anything does the event viewer say as to why Windows is shutting down the device? Is this an OEM computer or one you built? Have you tried upgrading the BIOS and chipset firmware/software?

This particular one is a homebuilt Asrock Taichi z390 with the latest motherboard firmware.
The local Bluetooth adapter has failed in an undetermined manner and will not be used. The driver has been unloaded.

</Event>- Bipin-prakashBrass ContributorGot it. From the event log, it looks like a potential hardware failure. Are you able to get your hands on a USB BT dongle and try that? I have a strong feeling that that would resolve your issue (having disabled the built in BT from device manager).
