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? :(
My understanding is Windows is a victim of its own success/monopoly in a way - it has to support so my ancient business applications and such a massively wide variety of hardware that it is a mess.
Not saying Microsoft do a good job, it’s just simpler when the requirements are narrower.
