Bluetooth not working ​

Question ​

My Bluetooth isn't working - how do I fix it?

Answer ​

Run the script below in an elevated Command Prompt (Run as administrator). It re-enables and restores the Bluetooth-related services that some debloat / tweak tools disable.

WARNING

Run this only if Bluetooth was working before and stopped after applying tweaks. It modifies service startup values in the registry.
