Windows 11 24H2 Bluetooth New Upgradation Discoverability Features |
Now, Windows 11 24H2 will automatically make your PC discoverable to new Bluetooth devices for 1 minute. So if you try to pair a new Bluetooth accessory like wireless headphones or a speaker, your PC will automatically show up on that device's list of available Bluetooth connections for 1 minute. You don't have to manually turn on discoverability anymore.
After 1-minute, your PC will become undiscoverable again automatically. This protects your privacy and security somewhat by limiting the time your computer is visible to unpaired devices. However, you can still manually turn on Bluetooth discoverability indefinitely if you want.
There are also some new visibility options you can customize:
- You can set discoverability to be on indefinitely if you have many Bluetooth devices and want seamless connections. This may be less secure,e though.
- You can disable the 1-minutauto-discoverabilityty if you don't want your PC visible to Bluetooth devices without your permission at all.
- There is an option to make your PC visible to all previously paired Bluetooth devices even when discoverability is turned off. This allows existing wireless accessories to maintain a persistent connection.
The added options provide more detailed control over the visibility of your PC to enhance both connection and privacy according to your personal preferences.
