After 2 weeks the bluetooth just disappeared on my pc and I,ve tried updating my drivers and I've tried going into the device manager and I've tried going into services and making bluetooth automatic but when i troubleshoot it it still says that there's no bluetooth capabilities...

Any help on the matter would be much appreciated

Do you still have the WI-FI Working and have you checked the Bios settings as it can be turned off via the Bios.

So easy fix has been found turn off PC and unplug PSU and wait 10 minutes Hold down Power button on PC for 10 seconds during the 10 minute power off, Plug back in and turn on PSU and boot Bluetooth should now be back

Front Panel USB not working
CMOS, Bios flash did not helped, wifi disassembly too
MSI is garbage or AMD chipset is GARBAGE

Bluetooth hasn't failed on me again since then, and I use it every day. I still have the same BIOS that came from the factory, v18

I've just had the same issue with my new MSI B650 GAMING PLUS WIFI mobo, Bluetooth just stopped working one day. At the same time there started to appear USB related errors (timeouts) during boot (I'm on Linux). Using Alan's solution fixed the problem - thanks!

Yes please install the antenna that was supplied in the Motherboard box if not already done, check they are not loose if installed already

Thanks for reposting this! I just spent the better part of two days fighting the "trying to connect" demon while installing a Logitech MX Keys wireless keyboard.

Like others here, I am using Ethernet and didn't bother to install the antennas. Dang it!

I have the same issue, all i did is installed the "Intel® Wireless Bluetooth Drivers" from intel website and then reinstalled it from Programs and features.

Check the Bluetooth settings in Windows and make sure that it is enabled.Check the Device Manager to see if the Bluetooth is listed or if there are any errors.Reinstalls the Bluetooth driver from the MSI official website.Update the BIOS of your motherboard via the MSI website.Check in the BIOS that Bluetooth is enabled.Update Windows to correct any incompatibilities.Check the external antenna if your motherboard uses an antenna for Bluetooth.Disables quick start in the Windows Power options.Checks for USB conflicts by unplugging non-essential USB devices.If the problem persists, it could indicate a hardware problem.

Just experienced the issue with my TRX40 Creator motherboard, discharge motherboard suggestion was the fix. Shut the PC down and flipped the PSU switch to off for about 5-10 minutes, pressing the power button on the PC while the PSU was off to ensure the motherboard got completely discharged. No need to unplug anything.

I've tried all the fixes folks have put forth in this thread and a few others. BT at a BIOS level is broken on what appears to be several MSI boards.
I was down to two issues.

1. BT pairs but doesn't work as far as audio or file transfers.

2. Having 2 Crucial Gen5 T700 NVMe drives in the Gen5 slots causes the 2nd drive to drop to Gen2 speeds and eventually start going read only after about a 24hrs, multiples of the same NVMe tried and the behavior is the same. The 2 drives used both work fine in the Gen4 slots.

My specs are ...
Hardware:
MAG Carbon X870E​
AMD 9950X​
Sapphire Nitro+ 7900XTX​
2x32 G.Skill 6k RAM​
1600W Seasonic Platinum PSU
Software:
EndeavorOS (Arch based) Linux distro.​


I'm coming from an ASRock X570 with a 3950X. I decided to try MSI and get the MAG Carbon. I'm honestly thinking I may have made a mistake. The board isn't defective, but the BIOS is broken.
I've tried to get this working with the BIOS it came with 1A10 and with the last 3 betas, one of which was 1A18 which a forum mod posted. No success.

Linux sees every device, including the BT. It can pair with my Bose 700s but receives no audio.
I've read pages of complaints that had one other Linux user and the rest of use Windows users. It's not a Linux thing.
So it's past the return date. Because it's not defective, no return or RMA is possible. I just have to wait it out.

Edit: If I REALLY want BT and MSI can't get their s**t together ... I'll just spend $30 and get an Intel AX210 which I know works. And I'll replace it. I still think MSI needs to step up, there are toooo many threads like this with voodoo fixed that don't stick. Ah well. Cheers.

If Bluetooth isn’t working on your MSI motherboard, try updating the drivers from MSI’s site or double-check if it’s enabled in the BIOS.

For me, Linux sees the BT device but the connection doesn’t work. I’m on the newest BIOS as well. It’s a BIOS issue. This combo card has problems across manufacturers. I’ve seen folks complain in Gigabyte, MSI and Asus forums and on Reddit. I don’t believe voodoo tricks or just a driver update is going to be a permanent fix.
