Bit of retro noob, been away from pc builds for a über long time, but recently put a pc together, here’s the spec/build
AMD Ryzen 7 7800x3d, Corsair Dominator Platinum RGB 64gb 6400mhz, Samsung 990pro 2tb, Asus TUF B650-plus wifi matx, Asus TUF 1000w psu, Asus TUF LC240 ARGB aio, Sapphire Pulse RX 7900XTX, Noctua Chromax 120mm and 80mm fans, Silverstone Grandia 11 case, Asus ROG Falchion keyboard, Asus ROG Gladius III mouse, on windows 11pro (bad choice)

the issue that i’m having is the asus tuf b650 has on board bluetooth, however windows decides to install it’s own generic bluetooth drivers, so the actual bluetooth isn’t working, any advise to try get bluetooth working properly would be much appreciated and many thanks in advance

Regards

You can try looking in device manager then the find the Bluetooth and disable the windows one, or whichever you think is conflicting. Although usually it works with the windows one, you'll typically see about 5 different ones all working, I am not familiar with that board so not certain.

But, a word of warning, sometimes motherboard Bluetooth devices are just basically crap, and there is little you can do to get them working well.

For example, my MSI 570 board has Bluetooth but it's awful, so just bought a usb dongle instead, which was inexpensive and works fine.
 
Another thing is to try put whatever device you are trying to connect to right next to your motherboard, as in physically as close to it as possible, within a foot, see if it works. You might find it does but when you move it away even say another foot or two, it doesn't work anymore.

I’ve uninstalled the windows drivers, the. When you refresh the device manager, boom automatically reinstalls the windows drivers, have turned the option for windows to update drivers for devices, but makes no difference, tried to install the drivers that were downloaded from asus website for suggested for this motherboard, but it does nothing too, as well as trying to install myasus and armoury crate

Tried that with a ps5 controller, literally sat on the case next to the antenna
