Bluetooth and Wireless display not working on Windows Server 2022
Dear All,
While this may not be the required case in production.
However, on my standalone laptop, I have installed Windows Server 2022 Datacenter Edition(GUI).
Wireless Network is working which helps me to connect to WiFi network for internet.
- BUT, Bluetooth devices are NOT connected. They are detected and showed as 'paired' but never connects.
- ALSO, it fails to detect the Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter. This is useful when I want to present my laptop screen with all Hyper-V machines on a projector with which Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter is connected.
Let me know if anyone has experienced this similar behavior and if there are any suggestions around.
regards
Kayyum
/wave from the Windows Server product team. I just want to confirm what Karl said, we have been monitoring this thread and we hear your feedback. For the next release of Windows Server we have addressed these issues. THANK YOU for your feedback and passion for Windows Server!!!
I announced a week ago at Ignite, here's the session if you want to go learn more about what is coming in the next release of Windows Server:

I was finally able to make Bluetooth audio devices work on Windows 2022.
I've installed required drivers and services from Windows 10 donor images.
It was hard and time consuming. Don't really understand why Microsoft doesn't want to include Bluetooth audio support into Windows Server images, specifically that is was working fine in Windows Server 2019.
Anyway the steps are not trivial at all and requires good knowledge of registry and permissions model in windows.SergejKillerAre you able to send me the links for Bluetooth_WS2022_v3.zip and Bluetooth_HID_v2.zip?
Thanks so much!
Was anybody able to get classic (meaning none BLE - these are included) HID drivers to work?
These also seem not to be included.
I tried just porting the BT HID driver over - with no success.
Tyler_Durden_85, It all depends on the exact device you have. What is the device?
Meanwhile I've PMed you the default HID and a few more BT drivers.
You have to install them while the driver signatures are not enforced. The same way as BT drivers in my instruction.
Once the driver is installed, you have to double check that signatures are recognized by windows:
If not, I might send the wrong drivers. 🙂
- Could you please share with me the process of getting the win 10 drivers over to 2022? The registry is an old friend but the permissions model never was.
- For security reason services like Bluetooth and Wi-Fi are off by default but you could enable them and test them out. In case you have access to a Windows 10 PC, open start and open the Feedback Hub app and in the category select Windows Server and file a bug report and if you have any log files like errors, then attach it to the report, so Windows Server team would be able to investigate it.
Reza_Ameri I can support this issue partly.
If you have a bluetooth radio (usb dongle) and install the latest Server 2022 LTSC preview it will work.
if you upgrade from 2019 LTSC to 2022 LTSC preview the same dongle will not work, and there is no way to make it work (driver issue in device manager)- I have a fresh install of Windows Server 2022 LTSC and even with a USB dongle, it fails to connect.
