Hi. I have Windows 11, and this command leads to popping up a window that reads "Searching for displays" and a link "search other devices" below. Is there another command to go straight to connecting the bluetooth device I need?

Due to the fact that anyone can post about anything on these forums, anything you do or learn can be a great source for a post.
If you have any project you're working on, post stuff about it. Make a series of post about a project, why not?

Hey just wanted to know how to get the file path for the settings location so I can do this in windows 11?

Thanks

Edit:
Found it. If you use the link ms-settings:bluetooth instead that will take you directly to the bluetooth centre in Windows 11.

This is the complete list of windows settings links for those interested.
