W11 23H2 Bluetooth and Store question

[aVRage]

First of all, 23H2 cutted here and there is working now.
Still a little problem with Bluetooth, where first the dedicated window scanner is not opening

Spoiler: Gif of the problem

then, the scanner from control panel not found anything

Spoiler: scan from control panel

Also, another question regarding Store, opened without login to my microsoft Account showing me the "purchase" done in other images previously installed, for example Windows Subsystem of Linux or Ubuntu.
How is that possible, whitout made any login? From the IP?

i add the auto save settings, asking for help to fix

But I don't understand the logic of ripping out the default BT driver support, but not integrating new drivers.

It's a BT dongle there is no driver around
And I'm noob too.

From their FAQ:

How can I install the adapter on Windows 8, 10, 11? There is no driver
This Bluetooth adapter doesn’t need a special driver on Windows 8, 10 or 11. It functions with the Windows Bluetooth driver.

Which means, don't rip out the native Bluetooth drivers from Windows. The only reasons for removing BT support is if you know the target PC doesn't have any BT hardware, or you're banning BT because of local security guidelines.

I tried again, this time by adding the latest cumulative update of january, drivers is basically untouched.



I really start to think this BT usb don't works. Also, i hope this don't works, beacuse i don't see any other options/settings/drivers/etc to activate
Tomorrow i try it in a original windows pc at work and see if it find some devices

meanwhile, WSL2 + ubuntu works
There is no problem regarding vmcompute.exe blocked by Control Flow Guard... So in theory my next step is to trying eliminating defender+ firewall (beacuse i use another antivirus)
The only things active on Features for let WSL2 works is Virtual Machine Platform and Subsystem for Linux, so again in ThEoRy... Hyper-V can be deleted, maybe partially but deleted.

I try this two step soon.

Did you restore Device Picker?

 

[aVRage]

It fail on other pc's too...

 

[aVRage]

Did you restore Device Picker?

yes, this is the actual image
And this is the future test i want to try, without defender (but with Security Center... but maybe is not accessible) and without some other things.

Now its tested, this usb BT don't works at all, not my settings of windows.
The buds i try to pair works perfectly, with the internal BT of another laptop, but not from the scan of the adapter USB itself, so its clear that the problem is the adapter.

 

[aVRage]

garlin so i get a new usb dongle and the result are the same... not pairing at all, not found anything.

Can be this option the problem?

 

[aVRage]

Most probably is this little green thing the cause of no finding devices... If this is the cause, maybe can be included in the Bluetooth Compatibility.
Now i try

Have you tried using a default Windows install to see if it works there? This may not be an NTLite issue, but rather a hardware/driver problem or a bug in that Windows builds.

i tried today in different machines at work. from win7 to w11
and to be honest, without touching any settings, it was scan but not find anything.
Then i get a replaced adapter from the store, thinking was a fail piece.
Now, by looking my image again, i found this removed RPC.. trying in some minutes (but i already know, if it failed in default windows, where RPC was present by default, it fail again most probably)
I dont know really. its a plug and play usb bt adapter, is not supposed to be used like an integrated bt card?

 

[Hellbovine]

Why continue troubleshooting NTLite, when you just proved that it's a hardware/driver issue?

 

[garlin]

RPC (Remote Procedure Call) is a distributed network protocol. Stop randomly guessing at reasons.

Take your working preset and make a backup copy. Now for each of the NTLite screens, except for Updates and Components -- hit the Reset button on each section so you're clearing everything that is not Updates or Components. Now save this preset, and make a new ISO.

This test version only has removals, so there is absolutely zero confusion where your problem starts (not in Settings, not in Drivers, not in Post-Setup commands). If your BT dongle is broken here, then we can work on narrowing it down.

 

[aVRage]

This 2 dongle i tried do not find anything. It say Bluetooth personal area network.
Its definitely nothing about ntlite or windows itself.

 

[aVRage]

So, at the end of the story, with the magic of windows update... MAGICALLY a driver pop up and Buds get connected istantly

now, bluetooth works, im happy but partially because of windows update doing what he want.

There is a way to let windows update run only for drivers, and avoid downloading Cumulative Updates, Optional features, etc?!
Disable the service its pretty useless, it restart anyway.
If there is a way to get ONLY drivers from windows update, from NTlite, i want to do it.
Also WSL2 works well

The only strange thing atm is VirtualBox works but dont let me check the "Enable Nested VT-x / AMD-V" in machines where i previously used it without problems.

EDIT: IF i do an image now, and import drivers from the current state of Host, and delete windows update, do you think is working?

 

[garlin]

You mean this tweak, which I suggested you remove in post #14, by clearing all non-removals and re-testing the image?

                                <Tweak name="BthHFEnum\BthHFEnum">4</Tweak>

I got what initially i wanted, 23H2 22631.3007 without Windows Update, with the possibility of turn on/off Features, with a functional WSL2 (now works), with defender/firewall disabled (for the accessibility of Security Center).

Bluetooth now find my buds/soundbar, because i have ported the BT drivers of my previously Host machine (where windows update found my devices and downloaded the right drivers) to the NTLite build i made now.
Without running windows updates, this adapter was unusable, with the original driver of the original image of W11 23H2 was unusable (i tried with a W10 too at work, where Update is disable, and nothing happened). That's it.
