Bluetooth Error: BT-101

[KiddoIsGone]

Hi, so this is the issue I keep getting EVERY UPDATE TO STEAMVR. I am getting extremely frustrated with this issue each time SteamVR Updates. This has been a common occurcance ever since Update 1.3.23..
I have tried every course of action I possible could to fix this issue but I'm just so fed up at this point I am considering just selling my Vive, and I won't be wasting money on the Index when that comes out, cause why bother wasting the money on Hardware when the Software is always broken or keeps breaking every update.
Please if someone knows how to fix the Bluetooth Error BT-101 issue please contact me asap. I would greatly appreciate it.

Can you post a SteamVR system report from when it's in this state?

To obtain one of these, click the 'SteamVR' menu, 'Create System Report' and then 'Copy to Clipboard' or 'Save to File' and post the results somewhere. (There'll be a fair amount of detail so it won't fit in a comment here. Google Drive, Dropbox and similar seem to be good solutions.)

Thanks!

Yeah, I can do that.

I have the same error "Bluetooth Error BT-101". Can you tell me where I can send SteamVR system report to get help with this problem?

Honestly. it's an annoying process to fix but I know how to fix it. The staff here will just give an annoying run around and get you nowhere. Fortunately I haven't had to fix this in a while. Pretty much what you have to do, is TOTALLY uninstall everything and reinstall it all.

Thanks for your reply. I'll try to do what you suggest.

Had the same issue and found the following solution:

• Press the windows key and write Bluetooth.
  
• From the suggestions, select "Bluetooth and other devices settings".
  
• In the list of devices locate a device called BCM2045A0.
  
• Remove it.
  
• Turn off the link box.
  
• Close SteamVR.
  
• Turn on the link box.
  
• Open SteamVR.
  
• Steam should indicate an update is available for the headset.
  
• Install the update.
  
• The BCM2045A0 will be reinstalled and hopefully resolve your issue as it did mine.

THERE IS ANOTHER FIX.

Most of the time another program is interfering with SteamVR such as an anti virus or security program. In my case, it was Webroot. Webroot has been uninstalled for a long time because it expired, but every time I opened SteamVR, Webroot would popup and ask to install it again. There are only a few other times this would pop up. Two others are when I run Streamlabs OBS and Half Life Alyx Mod Tools(only appears when building lighting).

To fix this issue, once the pop up happens, I quickly go into Task Manager, find the Webroot instance, right click it, click open file location, delete the file that it opened and everything Webroot related. In my case it was a file in my C drive directory literally called "program". No wonder I missed it lol. Anyways this worked for me so I hope that helps others if the other fix didn't work :)
