cannot rename bluetooth device on Win 11

I use specific brand of bluetooth device that I like. I have 10 of them. They all show up as a bluetooth device to pair with in my list with the EXACT. SAME. NAME. I want to pair my device. I have one of the ten with me. I have a list of 10 disconnected devices with the same name. How do I know which one to pair to without attempting to pair with all 10 until I find the one that I am currently using? I use the simple process of renaming them to something unique, something every other operating system can do easily, with intuitive steps. why Microsoft makes this so ridiculously hard to do and so hidden is beyond my understanding, but I have finally found the steps, and here they are:

the key to this is that you need to get to the old "devices and printers" page, and windows will try very hard to steer you away from this page for their own "using our OS should be difficult and annoying" philosophy reasons.

PRESS WINDOWS KEY + I

LEFT COLUMN - SELECT "Bluetooth & devices"

Then select "Devices"

then select "More devices and printer settings"

find device on this page

right-click and select "properties"

select the "Bluetooth" tab

rename device

note: device must be disconnected for this to stick

OMG. I've been frustrated by this for 6 months. THANK YOU.

you can try using Windows PowerShell with the following steps:

Press Windows key + X and select "Windows PowerShell (Admin)."
Type the command Get-PnpDevice -Class Bluetooth and press Enter.
Find the device name of your ZVOX AV30 earbuds in the list.
Copy the "InstanceID" value for your earbuds.
Type the command Get-PnpDeviceProperty -InstanceID <InstanceID> -KeyName "DEVPKEY_Device_FriendlyName" and press Enter. Replace <InstanceID> with the value you copied.
The current name of your earbuds will be displayed in the output.
To rename your earbuds, type the command Set-PnpDevice -InstanceID <InstanceID> -FriendlyName "<NewName>" and press Enter. Replace <InstanceID> with the value you copied, and <NewName> with the new name you want to give your earbuds.
Restart your computer and check if the new name appears for your earbuds.

This works until the "Set-PnpDevice" where I get an error stating that it is not a recognized cmdlet, function, script file or operable program. I can't find anything in the windows documentation with this command nor a suitable replacement.

Honestly this is so dumb to have to jump through hoops to rename a BT device to make it easily selectable for connecting.

This works , finally !

If you don't see change setting, when you open device manager on the top row click on "Action", from there click on "Devices and Printers" . When you open devices and printers. You will see your device!

Right Click on it and then click Properties.

Then Click on "Bluetooth" in the top row. You will be able to change your device name there.

After that, Remove the device and pair it again!

HOPE IT HELPS!!!
