Overview
Pairing the TP-BT with Windows 11 may require additional steps due to its classification under the “Other Devices” category in the Bluetooth device list.
By default, Windows 11 prioritizes commonly used Bluetooth device caegories, such as headsets, printers, and input devices (e.g., mice and keyoards), while “Other Devices” remain hidden. To successfully pair with a TP-BT, open Bluetooth settings and manually expand the list of “Other Devices.” Once expanded, the TP-BT will appear and can be paired.
