I’ve ran out into a problem where basically if I turn on Bluetooth it doesn’t work.
I have seen people with the same problem but with no solution.
Also I am dualbooting neon and Windows 11 if that helps.

This isn’t likely a KDE issue, but a hardware one. Without knowing which wifi card you have (whoch almost always provides Bluetooth as well) it is hard to say.
However, if you are dual-booting Windows, do make sure that Windows Fast Startup is turned off. This puts hardware into a sort of hibernation status, and can lock some devices from being enables in other OSs. I myself had this happen specifically with Bt a few years ago.
Ok. My wifi card details are:
Network controller [0280]: Intel Corporation Alder Lake-P PCH CNVi WiFi [8086:51f0] (rev 01)
I agree with claydoh. It should be a hardware problem.
I’m using Bluetooth all day for my external speakers and work wonderful with KDE-Neon.
I have the same problem or similar at least. I have dual-boot Win11 and I cannot turn bluetooth on yet when I run systemctl status bluetooth I get this:
● bluetooth.service - Bluetooth service
Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/bluetooth.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
Active: active (running) since Wed 2024-10-02 15:57:25 CEST; 2h 34min ago
Docs: man:bluetoothd(8)
Main PID: 18373 (bluetoothd)
Status: “Running”
Tasks: 1 (limit: 16383)

So the bluetooth should be running. Restarting bluetooth trough systemctl restart does not resolve the problem. I think I have fast startup turned off but I’ll verify that.
Hi had a similar issue, and systemctl restart bluetooth did not fix the problem. However, going into aeroplane mode and then back did wonders and blutetooth is working again.
