A small batch script that starts Windows Bluetooth services
Using Windows 11, sometimes my Bluetooth option completely dissappears. This is caused by Windows sometimes not starting the Bluetooth services on start-up. You can manually start those services to get your Bluetooth back, but I wanted a 1-click option, so I made this batch script that starts those services.
If the services are already running, nothing is restarted or interrupted.
Important
Before running this script, you must update the BluetoothDeviceInstancePath to match your specific Bluetooth device. You must replace INSERT_PATH_HERE with your Bluetooth Device's Device Instance Path.
- Windows Search -> Device Manager
- Expand the Bluetooth section
- Right-click your Bluetooth adapter (e.g., Intel(R) Wireless Bluetooth(R)) and select Properties.
- Go to the Details tab.
- In the Property dropdown, select Device Instance Path.
- Right-click the value (e.g., USB\VID_8087&PID_0029.....) and select Copy.
- Right-click the .bat file -> Edit -> replace the INSERT_PATH_HERE with your Bluetooth Device Instance Path
- Download the EnableBluetoothServices.bat batch file
- Right-click EnableBluetoothServices.bat
- Select Run as Administrator
- Done
- Windows 10 or Windows 11
- Administrator permissions
