    Hello,

    Welcome to the Microsoft Windows Community.

    Good morning, @LA Hunter . This device is plug-and-play. Try unplugging it and connecting it to a different USB port. If it doesn't work, test it on another device to check if it is faulty.

    Hi,

    Do you get an "unknown device" error when connecting the USB adapter?

    Or

    Does it show up as an "Unknown Device" in Device Manager? If possible, please take a screenshot and post it here.

    Thanks.

    Try this in order on Windows 11:

    1. Verify the dongle is being detected at all.
      • Open Device Manager.
      • Check under Bluetooth for an adapter name that includes Bluetooth or Radio.
      • If Bluetooth is missing, in Device Manager select View > Show hidden devices.
    2. Fully power off the PC, then power it back on.
      • Hold Shift and select Start > Power > Shut down.
      • Wait about 1 minute.
      • Turn the PC back on.
      • This can restore Bluetooth hardware that has stopped responding.
    3. Update the Bluetooth driver.
      • Open Device Manager.
      • Expand Bluetooth.
      • Right-click the Bluetooth adapter > Update driver > Search automatically for drivers.
      • Restart the PC after the update.
    4. Check Windows Update.
      • Go to Start > Settings > Windows Update.
      • Select Check for updates.
      • Install available updates and restart.
    5. Reinstall the Bluetooth adapter.
      • In Device Manager, expand Bluetooth.
      • Right-click the Bluetooth adapter > Uninstall device.
      • Shut down the PC, then turn it back on.
      • If Windows does not reinstall it automatically, open Device Manager and select Action > Scan for hardware changes.
    6. If the adapter still is not recognized, install the latest Bluetooth driver from the PC manufacturer support site.
      • Search by the PC model number.
      • Install the latest Bluetooth driver for Windows 11.
      • Restart after installation.
    7. If Bluetooth is missing or grayed out in Settings, contact the PC manufacturer.
      • Bluetooth hardware errors are commonly caused by PC-specific driver or firmware issues.

    If the dongle appears in Bluetooth but devices still will not pair, also:

    • Put the Bluetooth device into pairing mode.
    • Move it closer to the PC.
    • Charge the device fully.
    • Remove the device from Settings > Bluetooth & devices, then add it again.
