    Dear @Timothy Liew,

    I’m truly sorry for the disruption you’ve been facing with your Bluetooth headset, especially when you use your mic for calls and daily work. Thank you for your patience and for the steps you’ve already tried.

    From what we’re seeing, this is not an isolated case. Many users have reported the same issue after the latest Windows 11 update, and this looks like a known limitation in the latest Windows 11 release affecting Bluetooth audio/mic behavior.

    One of the most effective ways to speed up the fix is to report this issue directly to Microsoft using the Feedback Hub app. Every report helps Microsoft prioritize the problem and release a patch sooner. Please follow the Microsoft Official Guide here: Send feedback to Microsoft with the Feedback Hub app

    Moreover, Microsoft will be releasing patches for Bluetooth and microphone issues. Keeping your Window updates enabled ensures you’ll get the fix automatically as soon as it’s available.

    Otherwise, if rollback remains an option for you, and you need stability urgently, you can also consider rolling back the recent Windows update while waiting for the fix: Please follow the Microsoft Official Guide here: How to uninstall a Windows Update

    While Microsoft is working on a fix, the fastest and most effective way to troubleshooting this now is to engage Microsoft Support so they can run deeper diagnostics and apply targeted patches.

    Please contact Microsoft Support:

    Note: Please be reassured that you are not alone, I’ll continue to monitor this case and will reach out to you with any new updates as soon as possible.

    I hope this information is helpful. Thank you for your patience and your understanding.

    If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out. I'm looking forward for your reply.

    We have the same issue with all the new Windows 11 laptops we have just rolled out circa 150. Our experience is that every call that the user receives the Teams system will show as not muted, but the other side cannot hear you and the mic symbol in teams doesn't show any activity.

    However, if you mute yourself via the headset and then un-mute it starts to work again.

    We have also disconnected Bluetooth and re-added which works correctly for at least 1 call but then stops again.

    I have the same issue, and I'm pretty sure KB5066835 is to blame, as prior to this I had no problems at all. I can hear audio just fine from YouTube or similar, but no bluetooth headset microphone will work and Teams is refusing to pipe any sound at all to Bluetooth headsets or use the microphone. I have tried re-pairing, the trouble shooters (although Windows 11 claims that I don't even have half the troubleshooters and at one point claimed I don't have a bluetooth radio which is patent nonsense). Windows 11 is amateur hour writ large; the worst OS I've had the misfortune to use (and that includes Windows ME and 8). This the same with:

    Pixel Buds Pro

    Pixel Buds 2a

    Bose QC 35 II

    Having to use a tethered headset without noise cancelling is not just inconvenient, it's utterly absurd. Bluetooth is not a new technology, but apparently Satya's push to replace humans with shit AI is now bearing fruit in the number of crappy, broken updates being shipped to users who have no choice but to stick with your dreadful OS because of work. Not that he'll care what with his fat paycheque, bonuses and shares of course.
