Bluetooth driver disappears after every restart/sleep on Windows 11
Dear Support Team, I am writing this complaint out of sheer frustration after enduring a critical Bluetooth driver issue on my Windows 11 laptop for an unreasonably long time. Every single time I restart my system or wake it up from sleep, the Bluetooth driver completely disappears from the system. It is not just disabled — it is gone. Bluetooth vanishes from Device Manager, settings, and system controls as if the hardware itself never existed. The only way to restore Bluetooth functionality is to reinstall the driver manually every time. This issue occurs: After every restart After waking the system from sleep Randomly during normal usage The frequency is so high that I have been forced to keep a Bluetooth driver installer shortcut permanently on my desktop — something that feels absolutely absurd for a modern operating system in 2025. Let me be very clear: This is not a user error This is not a one-off bug This is not acceptable behaviour for a premium Windows device I have tried: Reinstalling drivers multiple times Using official OEM drivers Updating Windows fully Disabling power management options Troubleshooting through Device Manager Running system diagnostics None of these provides a permanent fix. The core issue is painfully obvious: Windows 11 (or its driver/power management stack) is failing to reliably retain or initialise the Bluetooth driver across restarts and sleep cycles. This is a basic OS-level responsibility. As a long-time Windows user, I find it shocking that in a system where I spent a considerable amount, I am dealing with an issue that feels more appropriate for an unstable experimental build, not a consumer-ready operating system. To be completely honest, this experience has pushed me to the point where I am seriously considering abandoning Windows altogether and switching to macOS, despite having used Windows on my personal machines for years. The idea of paying that amount again just to escape such basic reliability problems is becoming more appealing than continuing to fight my own laptop daily. This is not just a “bug report” — this is a usability failure that affects: Work productivity Meetings Audio devices Input devices Everyday usability I expect: A clear acknowledgement of the issue A concrete explanation of why this happens A permanent fix, not temporary workarounds Or an official statement admitting the limitation I am documenting this issue publicly and will be sharing it across relevant forums and feedback channels unless a meaningful resolution is provided. Windows users should not have to reinstall core drivers every day to use basic hardware features. I look forward to a serious response. Sincerely, A very frustrated but still hopeful Windows user
Reclamo técnico — Windows Update / Fallo crítico de arranque / Activación
Reclamo técnico — Windows Update / Fallo crítico de arranque / Activación El 28/08/2026, luego de una actualización de Windows 11, mi instalación dejó de iniciar correctamente. La actualización involucrada es KB5120998, correspondiente a Windows 11 25H2 / OS Build 26200.9278, publicada por Microsoft el 27/08/2026. El sistema pasó de funcionar normalmente a presentar durante el arranque: DRIVER_UNLOADED_WITHOUT_CANCELLING_PENDING_OPERATIONS y posteriormente: STOP 0xC000021A STATUS_SYSTEM_PROCESS_TERMINATED El fallo persistió incluso intentando iniciar mediante Safe Mode (F4) y Safe Mode with Networking (F5), por lo que no se trataba de un problema de una aplicación o proceso de inicio del usuario. Se realizó un proceso completo de recuperación utilizando Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE) y reparación offline de la instalación. Durante el diagnóstico se identificaron problemas en el Component-Based Servicing (CBS) / Component Store. Los intentos de reparación con DISM no pudieron completarse correctamente y se obtuvo: 0x800F0915 CBS_E_REPAIR_CONTENT_MISSING Entre los componentes involucrados se identificó: wow64_microsoft-windows-errorreportingcore 10.0.26100.9278 También fue necesario intervenir sobre la configuración de arranque UEFI/EFI para intentar recuperar el sistema. La recuperación de la instalación original finalmente no fue posible, por lo que, después de agotar los procedimientos de reparación, fue necesario formatear y reinstalar Windows. La reinstalación tuvo que realizarse dos veces, ya que la primera instalación presentó problemas al intentar recuperar la configuración/cuenta anterior. Por lo tanto, el incidente produjo la siguiente cadena: KB5120998 ↓ Windows 11 25H2 / Build 26200.9278 ↓ Fallo durante el arranque ↓ DRIVER_UNLOADED_WITHOUT_CANCELLING_PENDING_OPERATIONS ↓ 0xC000021A ↓ Safe Mode también falla ↓ WinRE / reparación offline ↓ CBS / Component Store: 0x800F0915 ↓ Recuperación UEFI/EFI ↓ Imposibilidad de recuperar la instalación ↓ Formateo ↓ Dos reinstalaciones de Windows Actualmente existe además un segundo problema: la licencia original que estaba funcionando en este mismo equipo ya no es validada después de la reinstalación. Windows devuelve: 0x803FA067 También intenté utilizar el mecanismo de activación mediante Installation ID, pero el sistema/web de activación de Microsoft tampoco reconoce correctamente dicho identificador.
Windows is very slow after clean install from USB
Hi Folks, I don't know what to do. I reinstalled my system as it started to work slow after two years. For some reason my pc feels like it is a laptop from 2000. It is taking ages to instal something, open internet site or listen to the music while doing something. These are my specs: Processor 13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-13600K (3.50 GHz) Installed RAM 32.0 GB (31.8 GB usable) NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 Ti System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor I have installed all drivers. Reinstalled system 3 times. Tried with updates and without. I have up to date bios. I feel stuck and do not know what to do. System repair also did not help.

I am experiencing a Windows Spotlight issue on my Windows 11 laptop and would like assistance identifying the cause. System information: Windows 11 Home Version 25H2 OS Build 26200.8973 HP Envy 17 Windows Spotlight stopped displaying new images on my original Windows user profile. The Spotlight image area remains blank and no new Spotlight assets are downloaded. I have carried out extensive troubleshooting, including: Confirmed BITS, Delivery Optimization and Windows Update services are running. Confirmed connectivity to Microsoft's Spotlight-related endpoints over HTTPS. Re-registered the Windows ContentDeliveryManager package. Reset the ContentDeliveryManager package. Confirmed the relevant Windows Spotlight registry settings are enabled. Checked the ContentDeliveryManager and targeted-content cache. Checked Windows event logs and BITS activity. Confirmed that Windows is receiving Spotlight content metadata from Microsoft's content service. One particularly important finding is that I created a completely new local Windows user profile on the same PC and same Windows installation. Windows Spotlight works correctly in that new profile and downloads the Spotlight assets normally. This indicates that the Windows Spotlight infrastructure, network connectivity, Windows installation and ContentDeliveryManager system component are functioning correctly. The problem appears to be isolated specifically to the original Windows user profile. The original profile receives Spotlight metadata, but the content returned includes an EmptyCreative entry rather than an actual image asset. I would therefore like Microsoft to advise: What user-profile component or database controls the Windows Spotlight subscription/creative state? Is there a supported way to repair or rebuild the Spotlight state for the affected user profile without creating a new Windows profile? Is there a Microsoft-supported diagnostic or repair procedure for this profile-specific Spotlight failure? If this is a known Windows 11 25H2 issue, is there a corresponding fix or workaround? I would prefer to repair the existing user profile rather than migrate to a new profile, as the existing profile contains my applications, configurations and personal files. I can provide additional diagnostic information, event logs, registry information or screenshots if required. Thank you.Windows update fail

Windows 11 Pro Insider Preview Greyed Out Options After Total PC Reset On Build 29648.1000
I did a total reset after switching around setting security settings and had to reset my PC to get the security settings back and now my build options are greyed out on Canary Channel, Dev Channel, Beta Channel and Release. It is saying on winver I am on Dev build but can't go on Canary Channel. When I updated to the channel I am on it was set on Experimental Future Platforms before the reset, if that helps any.
Second-hand laptop stuck in previous owner's Windows Autopilot tenant – how to reach human support?
Hi, I'm trying to find the correct human Microsoft support team for Windows Autopilot deregistration. I own a second-hand Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Yoga Gen 6 which I purchased on eBay on August 6, 2023. I used Linux on it for the last few years, so I only discovered the problem now after installing Windows 11 Pro. During OOBE, the laptop downloads an Autopilot profile belonging to a previous organization and forces organizational enrollment. Autopilot diagnostics confirm: CloudAssignedForcedEnrollment = 1 IsForcedEnrollmentEnabled = 1 DeploymentProfileName = CSE Autopilot Pilot I have no relationship with the previous organization and no access to its tenant. The eBay seller is no longer active. I contacted regular Microsoft Windows Support. I provided: eBay purchase/order confirmation signed bank transaction device serial number screenshots Autopilot.cab diagnostics Support acknowledged that I own the device and that I cannot remove the registration myself. However, instead of escalating the case, they repeatedly directed me to Autopilot deployment documentation, Feedback Hub and Tech Community. Microsoft's documentation says that a device permanently leaving an organization should be deregistered from Windows Autopilot. I have also found Microsoft Q&A cases suggesting that Commercial/Intune Support can review inaccessible-tenant deregistration cases after proof of ownership has been verified. My question is simply: how can a private end user actually reach a human Microsoft Intune/Autopilot support engineer who can review and escalate this? I do not have an Intune tenant or access to the previous organization's tenant, so I cannot open a support request from their Intune Admin Center. I am not asking for a way to bypass Autopilot. I am asking for the legitimate device ownership to be reviewed and the stale Autopilot registration to be removed from Microsoft's service. If anyone from Microsoft can provide the correct support route or escalate this internally, I would greatly appreciate it.
