FEATURE REQUEST - DONE - Full Bluetooth Support in Windows Server 2022 / vNext - and why at all

Windows Server 2022 or later has a no / limited Bluetooth support. Not because it is technically impossible, rather because it is missing drivers.

 

Issue:

Bluetooth devices cannot be added in Settings app as expected.

 

Usecase:

Logitech MX Master (1-3) Bluetooth Mouse and other stuff like that

 

Workaround:

NOTE: please don't blame the messenger for potential copyright issues that the solution is to use the drivers from a different Windows OS. I am aware it is not permitted if you see it stricly, so I hope the link won't be taken down.

    This has bothered me for a long time. I use a Windows Server 2022 machine as my work desktop and not having Bluetooth earbud audio support is silly.
