    Try these Windows 11 steps in order:

    1. Make sure Bluetooth is turned on.
      • Select Start > Settings > Bluetooth & devices.
      • Confirm Bluetooth is turned on.
    2. Check the headphones.
      • Make sure the headphones are powered on, charged, and in pairing mode.
      • Keep them close to the laptop.
      • If needed, turn the headphones off, wait a few seconds, and turn them back on.
    3. Make the laptop ready to find more devices.
      • Go to Start > Settings > Bluetooth & devices > Devices.
      • Under Device settings > Bluetooth devices discovery, choose Advanced.
    4. Turn Bluetooth off and back on.
      • Go to Start > Settings > Bluetooth & devices.
      • Turn Bluetooth off, wait a few seconds, then turn it back on.
    5. Remove the headphones and pair them again if they already appear.
      • Go to Start > Settings > Bluetooth & devices > Devices.
      • Select More options for the headphone device.
      • Select Remove device > Yes.
      • Then pair the headphones again.
    6. Update the Bluetooth driver.
      • Open Device Manager.
      • Expand Bluetooth.
      • Right-click the Bluetooth adapter and select Update driver > Search automatically for updated driver software.
      • Restart the laptop if prompted.
    7. Check Windows Update.
      • Go to Start > Settings > Windows Update.
      • Select Check for updates and install any available updates.
    8. Restart the laptop.
      • Select Start > Power > Restart.

    If the headphones connect but no sound comes out, go to Start > Settings > System > Sound and under Choose your output device, select the Bluetooth headphones.

    Hi. I'm David, and I'm happy to help you.

    To be able to assist you better, please clarify the following:

    • Does the laptop fail to even find the headphone in the search list, or do they appear but result in an error when trying to pair or connect? If an error message appears on the screen when attempting to connect, what is the exact text?
    • Does the headphone connect and work normally with other devices?
    • Can your laptop connect to other Bluetooth devices?
    • What is the manufacturer and model of the headphone?

    Also, share a screenshot of your system information.

    • Press "Windows + R", type msinfo32 and press Enter.

    Maximize the window and use the shortcut "Windows + Shift + S" to use the screenshot tool. Or take a picture of the screen using a camera or smartphone and share it.

    Looking forward to your reply.
