Hello Folks,
I just upgraded to Monterey and BT stopped working. When I open preferences I am getting a message "Preferences error" "could not load bluetooth pane". I can't see the reset bluetooth option in the menu.
I have tried reboots, resetting SMC and also deleting the bluetooth.plist files etc., with no luck. I now really regret upgrading to Monterey.
Anyone has any insight into resolving this?
thanks
The "reset" option is gone in Monterey.... it used to be Shift Option Keys and click open the BT icon in the Upper right menu bar
I would try a SafeBoot https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201262
Takes noticeable longer to get to the login screen, does a 5-15 minute disk repair before it fully boots up, and certain system caches get cleared and rebuilt, including dynamic loader cache, etc. Login and test.
Reboot and test will take a little longer as caches get rebuilt.
