Bluetooth Audio on Bootcamp

MacBook Pro 2019 32GB RAM with T2 chip

Windows 11 Pro on bootcamp

Broadcom 802.11ac Network Adapter

Driver Version: 101.10.603.0

Driver Date: 10/01/2022

Broadcom Radion

Driver Version: 10.0.22621.2792

Driver Date: 21/06/2006

When I connect any bluetooth headset I get dropouts.

Bluetooth keyboard works great, mouse works fine.

All of these (including the bluetooth headset) works fine in OSX.

The mouse is a Logitech MX Anywhere 3 and supports up to 3 bluetooth systems.

I cannot connect with the same bluetooth mouse device (I have to change from device no.1 to device no. 2 on the mouse) when using Windows.

This is not the case with the keyboard, which works the same with the in windows and OSX.

I tried several drivers and configurations. None resolved.

How can I resolve this ?

MacBook Pro 15″

The question I have rhetorically is whether Apple even supports WIndows 11 Pro in Boot Camp yet and whether you installed the available Apple Boot Camp drivers (probably for Windows 10) — that may or may not be Windows 11 Pro compatible?

Apple's Nov 6, 2023 article Install Windows 10 with Boot Camp - Apple Support does not mention Windows 11 at all, and neither does Boot Camp Assistant User Guide for Mac - Apple Support.

I am uncertain if you can resolve Windows 11 Pro Bluetooth audio dropouts in Boot Camp running Windows 11 Pro.

Still, I read that this plagues also the windows 10 installations. So I think this has nothing to do with the operating system, but rather the drivers used for the Bluetooth Radio and Broadcom Network. I even think that when I installed windows out of the box on Bootcamp it worked fine. However, I was unable to recreate this by removing and installing original driver.
