Bluetooth in Windows11

[Joe71]

On my Toshiba Satellite ProC870 I have Windows11pro installed, and PCLinuxOS-kde.

Playing music from my Samsung Z.flip.6 with Bluetooth in Linux works like a charm. Win11 saw my cellphone when matching the two. But regardless what I try, it connects for a second and then disconnects. The numbers match on both devices on the original matching. It comes up with "didn't accept sharing request". Discoverable is on.

Ideas ?

Windows 11 doesn’t support receiving Bluetooth audio by default, which is why it works in Linux but not in Windows. You can try using the Bluetooth Audio Receiver app from the Microsoft Store as a workaround. If the issue is with file sharing, make sure Nearby Sharing is turned on in Settings > System and set to "Everyone nearby." Also, try removing and re-pairing your phone in Bluetooth & Devices settings. Finally, check Device Manager > Bluetooth to update or reinstall the drivers. These steps should help fix the problem.
