I installed Windows 11 at the constant, harpy-like urging of Windows 10. One peculiarity of having updated to Windows 11 is that it keeps re-activating Bluetooth after I’ve disabled it making it difficult to swap my headphones over to my work laptop. My J-pop playlists are essential for completing my daily work.

Off to Dr. Google I go! I found this gem, paradoxically, on answers.microsoft.com:

“However, if you are seeing it turn on more often or even when there is not any new release build version of Windows being installed, that can probably be solved.”

That can probably be solved.

That’s it. Full stop. Thread locked. Super. Fucking. Helpful. After the first [marginally] helpful comment, just stop. Or if you are prone to loquaciousness, add: “Yeah, I don’t know. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ “

FWIW, I’m trying:

Why doesn’t the Windows 11 updater show this as the latest device driver? It’s been available since 11/2022. Not to be a shill, but at least with Linux, if something seems problematic, it is likely I’m doing something fuckwardsly. I just want to play gamez and watch teh yootoobs and tikitytoks, ffs.
