"Bluetooth not available" (Steam VR)

[Leyata]

Hi all,

I cannot get my VR Controllers connected to Steam VR. When I click on "Devices" --> "Bluetoothsettings", all I get is a red cross and "bluetooth is not available". The headset works fine, but it is connected via USB and HDMI, so the problem is obviously bluetooth.

But bluetooth is available and active on my PC. I also updated my bluetooth drivers. Steam VR is updated. Has anyone had that problem before and knows how I can fix that?

Thanks!

You do no say nothing about your headset. I will asume it is a WMR.

Basically go to Bluetooth in windows settings to pair them.

Mines the same thing, but I have an Oculus Quest, and it's saying the same thing he has, any suggestions?

the same goes with me too.
Got any solutions??

[-_-]

Althought the thread is old, I wanted to contribute my findings, as I have stumpled upon this thread searching for a solution for this problem:

The issue is caused by the runtime engine! SteamVR should be using the Windows Mixed Reality openxr runtime, otherwise the controllers won't be working.


Click on SteamVR settings -> Developer and have a look at "Current OpenXR Runtime". This must be set to "Windows Mixed Reality" instead of "SteamVR".

How to change that?

Click within the SteamVR settings on "Startup / Shutdown" and then on "Manage Add-ons". Here I had disabled all entries, which in my case were: Virtual Desktop Streamer (Quest), Pico, Gamepad Support.


The root of the problem was that I have tried out the Pico 4 headset and used it together with Virtual Desktop to play SteamVR-Games.


Hope that helps.
