If you have ever fought with Bluetooth headphones on a Windows PC, this is the patch you have been waiting for, and even in preview, it is worth knowing it is coming. Since I’m pretty Mac-heavy at home (I do have a couple of Windows devices sitting around, though), I haven’t really experienced this Bluetooth connectivity issue. That being said, I know when things don’t connect or connect badly, it can be incredibly frustrating.
According to Windows Forum, these are the issues that are being resolved:
- Windows should show its shell volume flyout when the volume is changed from a Bluetooth Classic Audio accessory during a voice call.
- Bluetooth devices should more accurately show as disconnected when they are no longer connected.
- The Bluetooth & devices area of Settings receives stability improvements.
- A mismatch where Bluetooth could appear turned off after the radio was disabled and then turned back on is corrected.
- Bluetooth audio gets general stability and compatibility work.
- Certain Classic Audio accessories receive microphone compatibility improvements.
- A crash while streaming Bluetooth audio, identified by error code 0x139, is fixed.
- Bluetooth LE Audio receives reliability and performance improvements.
- Shared audio is intended to work more reliably.
Bundling all of the fixes together makes sense, and hopefully it will resolve issues that others are experiencing.
