Hi Frameworkers,

I’ve just updated my 11th-gen Intel Framework 13 to Windows 11 after fighting it for two and half hours. The normal error messages that are so vague they’re meaningless, having to run a downloadable installer as admin because Windows Update can’t manage it, freeing up an extra 25GB of disk space, and culling particular background processes before running the tool. I must learn about dual-booting Linux soon, arrrgh!

Now “successfully” running Win11 and running the Framework driver package installer - three times - I have no Bluetooth. This died first when completing Windows updates in preparation for the update, and then is still MIA.

The installer claims to have installed the Bluetooth driver but I can’t see it in device manager, add any devices or turn it on anywhere.

Help? :(

    Tbf, DOS and computers back then were simpler than today, making it easier to troubleshoot comparatively.

    Win 3.1 added a bit more complexity on top of that. Basically we built more complex structures on top of older simpler ones to make it more and more user friendly. The more user friendly, the more complex the underlying tech to make it user friendly (harder for techie people to troubleshoot since there is so much more going on).

    That’s why SBCs like the RPi are gaining traction. It’s like going back a few steps so people have an easier time learning some of the underlying basics of computing.
