Since building this computer, I have had constant issues with the Bluetooth driver stopping and giving error code 43 on Windows 11 every time after I restart my computer. This has been happening both on my old motherboard with a USB Bluetooth adapter, as well as now with a new motherboard that has an integrated Bluetooth radio.

The issue will be temporarily resolved during the session, and I can connect my keyboard. However, once I power down my computer, the issue resumes and I must physically connect my keyboard. When I enter device manager, I keep getting the same error code 43. Can someone please assist?

    Hello

    Thank you for posting in Q&A forum.

    • Error code 43 typically indicates that the driver has stopped because it reported problems to Windows. Here are some steps you can try:

    1. Restart Bluetooth Support Service: • Press Win + R, type services.msc, and press Enter.

    • Find "Bluetooth Support Service", right-click it, and select "Restart".

    • Ensure the startup type is set to "Automatic".

    1. Update Bluetooth Driver:

    • Open Device Manager by right clicking the Start menu and selecting it.

    • Expand the "Bluetooth" section, right-click your Bluetooth adapter, and select "Update driver".

    • Choose "Search automatically for updated driver software".

    1. Uninstall and Reinstall Bluetooth Driver:

    • In Device Manager, right-click your Bluetooth adapter and select "Uninstall device".

    • Restart your computer. Windows should automatically reinstall the driver.

    1. Run Bluetooth Troubleshooter:

    • Go to Settings > System > Troubleshoot > Other troubleshooters. • Find and run the Bluetooth troubleshooter.

    I hope the information above is helpful.

    If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to let us know.

    Best Regards,

    I had a similar issue once, then the problem "upgraded" to not working at all any more whenever I tried a Realtek Bluetooth USB adapter. I could now resolve the issue by going to the device manager from windows and list devices by driver (menu: view → devices by driver) and I removed all drivers that had a Bluetooth icon. After a restart, my Realtek worked just fine. I have been having this issue for ages for all Realtek adapters and have been using an old ASUS adapter instead. I believe there were old Realtek drivers installed which conflicted with the new driver/device.
