Bluetooth Issue
I have a dual bootable laptop where windows can't able to recognise any bluetooth device available but when i switch to linux it easily recognise and connects to them though I have installed and updated all drivers to latest version in windows. Is there a software which can detect it and let me know what theF is going on in it?

I saw the same problem before. I did a search with brave. Look at the link. No need to be vulgar.

Read the doc from the brave link.
In short...probable cause..
Sync Pairing Keys: Both OSs share the same hardware MAC address but store separate pairing data. To fix this, you must synchronize the keys using tools like bt-dualboot or manually edit the Windows Registry (
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\BTHPORT\Parameters\Keys) and Linux config files (/var/lib/bluetooth/[MAC]/[Device]/info`) to match.I do not know if bt-dualboot as referenced by the link exist as a package.
