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:

      Yash_Shekar I've been using Bluetooth audio on Windows Server 2019 for several years without any modification to the OS. I know that it was missing in previous Server builds, but Server 2019 was functional. I just recently updated to Server 2022 and was surprised to see that it had been removed.

      i am also having Bluetooth issues on server 2022. I have windows 11 on a separate partition and Bluetooth is perfect. Was hoping someone could guide me on how to transfer the drivers over to server. Ty

    Hi all,

     

    I'm a PM at Microsoft on the Windows Server team. We've been tracking this thread for a little while. Bluetooth audio profile features are not included in the previous versions of Windows Server. Which kinds of Bluetooth devices are you most interested in connecting and why?

     

    Thanks,

    Yash

      bluetooth input devices are: keyboards, mouse;
      bluetooth output devices: headphones and more.
      Wireless broadcasting to TVs and display, projectors, screens (Miracast service).

      P.S. What is remarkable is that in windows server 2019 bluetooth devices connect without problems, but in windows server 2022 there are problems.

      Most likely a newer version of a driver was released by Microsoft. I don't have Windows Server anymore to update the drivers.
      But you can try to find the bthpan.sys file in \Windows\WinSxS\ folder extract it over the modified drivers. Then you can install it and the driver will be recognized by windows as signed.

    It was referenced as filenames. ISO images for the general availability build of Windows Server 2022 are open at Microsoft Evaluation Center.
    Inspect if Bluetooth hardware is on your computer and enabled. Ensure your computer has the required hardware and that wireless is turned on. Bluetooth requires both hardware and software to work. Unfortunately, not all wireless networking hardware supports Bluetooth.
