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.

    Thanks, this is better (still issues with some devices), but it is actually the "old" W10 route brought up in a roundabout way.

    I don't know why you're not seeing a bluetooth tab if you followed all those steps. It's crucial to open the properties pane from the More devices and printers settings option (step 3) — opening it in any other way gives a different properties pane (weird, but that's Microsoft). Here, for example, is the properties pane from Device manager compared to the pane accessed via step 3:

    If you followed those steps exactly and still can't see the bluetooth tab, you could try removing the device then re-pairing it and checking whether the bluetooth tab is available?

    There is no Set-PnpDevice command on my Windows 11 Pro (up to date) with Powershell v5.1.22621.1778 or Powershell Core v7.3.6
