My Cricut Joy used to connect fine via Bluetooth, but lately on Windows 11 it's ?

+1 And after clearing those, did you try removing and re-pairing the device in your Bluetooth settings?

Also, have you checked if your Bluetooth drivers are up to date in Device Manager?

Can confirm. I had the same problem. For me, it was a Windows update that messed with the Bluetooth drivers, and I had to completely remove and re-pair the device.

Yeah, that fixed it for me too. One extra thing—after you re-pair it, try turning off Bluetooth on your phone or tablet if it's nearby, as sometimes that can interfere.

You could also try running the Windows Bluetooth troubleshooter, since Windows 11 updates sometimes mess with those drivers.

Can confirm. Yeah, that's a good call. Also, try removing all those old COM port entries in Device Manager before you reconnect—it can clear up the clutter causing the drops.
