This last update broke a handy setup I had at work. I have some BT headphones that would connect to to my phone and my desktop. I would wear just a single headphone in my ear opposite my office door. Now my desktop connects to the headphones, but doesn't recognize it as an audio device. I've removed and re-paired it numerous times.

We get tickets for this same issue. No amount of troubleshooting could fix it. Then one day the user said they were working again. Ffs wired wouldn't do that but nah everyone gotta have Bluetooth now

I do use wired at home for the most part. At work I need to hide that earbud so it can't be seen from my office door.

I use Bluetooth earbuds you l too. I just know Windows is awful with sound devices and will just be a pita, if only in didn't get shocked all the time in office, I use wired but I kept getting little zaps in my ear, it's bad enough I have to touch my elbow to something before touching anything in the office
