Bluetooth not finding any devices in Windows 11 on Steam deck

Bluetooth works fine on Steam deck OS on my Steam deck, but when I switch to my Windows 11 installation I cannot connect to any Bluetooth devices since none are detected. I’ve tried uninstalling the Bluetooth drivers, but the problem remains. Have any of you who either dual boot Windows 11 or are using Windows on the Steam deck managed to get Bluetooth working properly? If so, how did you manage to get it work8ng?

Is it an OLED SteamDeck?

No, this is one of the original versions of the Steam deck running the latest stable version of Steam OS. The drivers seem to be outdated in Windows - from 2006, which I found quite surprising, given that they were provided by Valve - one would have thought they would provide more up to date drivers for something as crucial as Bluetooth. But it seems not.
