I'm having major issues with the built-in Bluetooth on my PC—it's really slow and cuts off connection often. I decided to switch to a USB Bluetooth adapter, but I'm stuck because it won't install until I remove the original driver completely. Even disabling it doesn't help, since my PC just reinstalls it immediately after I try to delete it. I'm using Windows 11, and I can't find an option in my BIOS to prevent this automatic reinstallation. I found an older post discussing this, but it didn't provide any clear solutions. Any advice would be appreciated!

Try going to Device Manager on your PC. Find the Bluetooth adapter, right-click on it, and select 'Disable.' This might help stop the automatic reinstall when you delete the original driver. Just make sure you're in the right section!
The motherboard might actually have a setting in the BIOS to disable Bluetooth. You should look for that and see if you can turn off the built-in feature altogether. This might stop your PC from reinstalling the driver after removal.
Have you checked the manufacturer's website for your new Bluetooth adapter? They usually have support pages with specific instructions for situations like this. It might give you the steps you need to fully uninstall that built-in driver and get your new one set up properly.
In Device Manager, navigate to the Bluetooth devices, then check the driver tab for the adapter. This will show you where the driver is located. You can go to that location and attempt to delete the driver files directly. Just a heads up, your PC might still reinstall it, though.
