I added a Bluetooth toggle to Windows 11’s taskbar and wish I did sooner | usagoldmines.com

Bluetooth on your laptop or desktop PC can be extremely handy for connecting devices in a heartbeat. But when the Bluetooth toggle refuses to show up on your taskbar it can be very annoying, forcing you to go track down Bluetooth submenus. Obviously, you want it available at a moment’s notice, and if it’s not showing up you can be slowed down from connecting — or just find it impossible to connect your Bluetooth devices whatsoever if you’re not tech-savvy.

Here’s how to fix it.

What to do:

  • In the Search bar type Bluetooth and choose Bluetooth and other device settings.
  • In the next window be sure Bluetooth is turned on.
  • Then scroll down and look for More Bluetooth settings.
  • Now be sure to tick the Show Bluetooth icon in the notification area. Hit Apply and Ok.

And that’s it. Now you should see the Bluetooth icon in the notification area. To connect a device, simply double-click the icon and select Add device. Then follow the prompts to add your Bluetooth-enabled device.
