Bluetooth недоступен на этом устройстве windows 11

Bluetooth — это широко используемая технология для беспроводного подключения устройств. Однако подключение к Bluetooth иногда может привести к проблемам. В этой статье рассматриваются наиболее распространенные проблемы, связанные с Bluetooth, такие как отсутствие связывания Bluetooth, проблемы со звуком Bluetooth, отсутствие Bluetooth и многое другое, а также пошаговые решения по устранению неполадок для каждого из них.

Способ 1: Включение Bluetooth в ОС

Если Блютуз пропал, значит, раньше он был, поэтому исходим из того, что ноутбук поддерживает эту технологию. При использовании внешнего адаптера попробуйте поменять USB-разъем или вставьте устройство в другой компьютер, если такая возможность есть. Далее проверим, включена ли интересующая нас функция на уровне системы.

1. Открываем быстрые настройки, кликнув по иконкам подключения к сети, настройки звука или отображения состояния батареи, расположенным справа на панели задач, и если опция отключена, включаем ее. Даже если модуль уже активен, останавливаем его на несколько секунд и снова запускаем.

Способ 4: Сброс питания

Статическое электричество может оказывать негативное влияние на некоторые встроенные компоненты ПК – сенсорную панель, камеры, датчик Bluetooth и т.д. Действия, описанные ниже, рекомендуют на своих форумах и страницах технической поддержки многие производители компьютеров и, судя по комментариям пользователей, это работает.

1. Выключаем ноутбук и отсоединяем кабель от электросети.
2. Отключаем все периферийные устройства, карты памяти, достаем диски из привода и т.д.
3. Вынимаем аккумуляторную батарею, если она съемная.
4. Нажимаем и удерживаем кнопку питания 15-20 секунд.
5. После этого вставляем аккумулятор обратно, подключаем устройство кабелем к электросети и включаем ноутбук.

Способ 5: Работа с драйверами

Почти все компоненты компьютера взаимодействуют с системой с помощью драйверов. Поэтому сейчас нам следует убедиться, что у модуля Bluetooth в этом плане проблем нет, а если есть, решить их.

1. В окне «Выполнить» вводим команду devmgmt.msc и подтверждаем ее.


Картинка с сайта: lumpics.ru

2. Открываем вкладку «Bluetooth». Там должен отображаться сам адаптер, в нашем случае «Realtek Bluetooth 4.2 Adapter», а также дополнительные протоколы, драйверы и т.д.


Картинка с сайта: lumpics.ru

3. Если устройство отключено, мы увидим стрелочку вниз на его ярлыке. В этом случае кликаем по адаптеру правой кнопкой мышки и включаем его.

   Картинка с сайта: lumpics.ru

   подтверждаем действие и перезагружаем систему.

Дополнительно стоит поискать программное обеспечение для Bluetooth-адаптера за пределами серверов Microsoft. Оптимальный вариант – скачать их и установить самостоятельно. Мы покажем, как это выглядит, на примере лэптопа HP, но даже если у вас устройство другого бренда, действия примерно будут одинаковыми.

1. Открываем в браузере официальный сайт производителя, в данном случае компании Hewlett-Packard. Вам может понадобиться модель ноутбука или серийный номер, которые обычно напечатаны на задней крышке устройства.
   

   Картинка с сайта: lumpics.ru

   Название и S/N лэптопа можно узнать и с помощью системных инструментов, о чем подробно написано в отдельных статьях на эти темы.
