cannot rename bluetooth device on Win 11

YES! Thank you :)

I can't believe I had to go through 3 pages of results to solve this.

Would like to emphasise that you have to turn bluetooth off then on again to get this to work. Otherwise it looks like the rename does nothing.

MS is so complicates!
But here's a solution. (please try it)

1. Open "Control Panel" (you can search it Win + "Control Panel").
2. Click on "Hardware and Sound" .
3. Click on "Devices and Printers". Now if it brings you to Settings, all you have to do is right-click on "Devices and Printers" then select "open".
4. Find the device you want to rename and open its properties, by double-clicking it or right-click on the device then select "Properties".
5. At the top of the opened window, go to the "Bluetooth" page. Click or double-click the name of the device, finally rename it whatever you want, make sure to click apply and done.

IMPORTANT: If the device's name is still the same as before, simply turn off bluetooth and turn it back and reconnect.

For any bluetooth devices.
