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.

I am unable to change the name of my bluetooth ear buds. I have tried the control panel/hardware and devices/ properties but there is no "bluetooth" tab or option to rename. I am using Win 11 Home Version 10.0.22621 Build 22621. Please help.

2024-01-31T19:00:50+00:00 Yes I have the same issue. I used the solutions of this thead to get it to work. (and it should not be this broken but here we are).
When I restart my computer it loses all the renamed changes and defaults back to the manafature's names. It's a nightmare.

2024-02-24T14:17:28+00:00 I think the problem is, i couldn't see the name change until i disconnected and reconnected. Which means i had to guess which one of 3 was the one that was connected. So...minor issue. Problem solved, for me. Thank you!!!!!
