Description

@TheLuxorious

In the ResetBluetoothAndWifi.ps1 script, an error message "Error 1168" may appear when removing Bluetooth devices. This is a known issue, as referenced in the powerBTremover GitHub repository issue #5. The error indicates that the device is not available and "should be removed manually."

Details:

  • Despite the error message, the script does successfully remove the device.
  • After a reboot (which is built into the script), the device should be removed.
  • No immediate action is required from the user beyond running the script and allowing the reboot to complete.

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Run the ResetBluetoothAndWifi.ps1 script.
  2. Observe the output for any instances of "Error 1168."

Expected Behavior:
The script should attempt to remove all paired Bluetooth devices.

Actual Behavior:
The script may display "Error 1168" indicating that the device is not available and should be removed manually. However, the device is actually removed after a system reboot.

Workaround:
Allow the script to complete and let the system reboot. The Bluetooth device should be removed after the reboot.

Status:
This issue is noted for informational purposes. No further action is required beyond running the script and rebooting the system as prompted.
