Original post from Microsoft
Microsoft has identified an issue affecting hotpatch-enabled Enterprise editions of Windows where Bluetooth devices may not appear on the Bluetooth & devices page in Windows Settings or in Quick Settings, even though the devices are connected and functioning as expected. In addition, users might be unable to add Bluetooth devices because available devices do not appear in the connection list.
This issue was identified in Microsoft’s internal environment and is expected to affect a limited set of Enterprise devices running Windows hotpatch updates.
An out-of-band (OOB) hotpatch update (KB5084897) was released today, March 16, 2026, to address this issue. This cumulative update includes all protections and improvements from the March 2026 Windows hotpatch updates released on March 10 and March 13, 2026.
This OOB hotpatch update is offered only to hotpatch‑enabled Windows 11, versions 25H2 and 24H2 Enterprise devices, and installs automatically without requiring a device restart. This update will not be offered to Enterprise devices that receive standard Windows updates.
