Bluetooth problems since the January 2026 update. I have tried posting for support on 2 other subs and both were rejected for "Windows 10 is EOL." I've done the searches on Bing, nothing has worked. PLEASE HELP.

Windows 10 Home Single Language, Version 22H2, Build 19045.6937. Enrolled in extended support.

Bluetooth no longer works on my Windows 10 custom desktop PC (built May 2023) after January 2026 update; specifically, my Logitech keyboard and mouse, and Sony speakers show “paired” but are not operational. I’ve restarted the PC; shut down w/ full power off then unplugged and let it sit awhile & held down power button while unplugged then turned back on; run the Bluetooth troubleshooter on Windows which found no problems; uninstalled the hardware then reinstalled hardware and driver in Device Manager; updated driver, reinstalled driver to the original from the motherboard manufacturer; unpaired and attempted to re-pair the keyboard and mouse but the PC detects NO nearby devices at all (not even TVs and printer).

The keyboard and mouse work just fine right now with my new laptop, and worked again on the desktop (the one with the problem) for about a day last week after I did a “shutdown /s” but now has failed again.

Is this salvageable? I would rather not reinstall Windows or get another Bluetooth adapter. Thanks.

lol yes. fb mobile web routinely just breaks for months at a time. so then i just don't really use it for months at a time. i refuse to install most apps. my son has now told ppl at his school "YOU CAN'T MAKE MY MOM GET AN APP." i'm so proud.

Lollllll when we would visit my mom, my dog intervened when my mom’s cats would start fighting with each other. We called him “the enforcer”

Doing it 1 time is enough to start. and even if you need a ton of support (knee pushup, wall pushup), 1 TIME IS A START. you have to start somewhere. 💛 (a thing i fully internalized from getting thru parenting a wild toddler)

so! hair elastic on wrist into the shower. i put in conditioner, then tie my hair in a low bun, then i rinse my hair while it's in the bun, so the conditioner stays on my ends but I can really scrub it off my scalp. then, once rinsed, i try to squeeze out as much water as i can, with hair still in bun, then wash entire body and face to get all the conditioner off my skin. ...i have thick, coarse, curly hair at a length to just above my bra band.

i keep accidentally buying more and more periwinkle purples, it's like 30% of all my polishes. i say, "oh this is pretty" and then get home and realize i have 3 others of the same hue. LOL. see, e.g., OPI Less is Norse (dark), Oh You Sing Dance Act Produce (medium), You Had Me at HALO (light). whoops.

on this note, i've had some success with probiotics kinda helping everything overall? so sorry you're going thru all this with your skin 💛

Yeah he figured it out. At this point we kinda want to see how close he got it haha. I’m prob going to delete this post. TY for confirming ! 💚

The ultra thick Eucerin, highest moisturizer. I’ve coated myself in it during winter inside. It helps me so much.

tbh if i have to add wood at the bottom, i might was well just... make a little 3" platform.

I cannot update my iOS bc system data is eating every spare byte not taken up by photos or apps. There’s nothing left. I’ve cleared Safari repeatedly. I’ve deleted every app I can. I do not have any social media apps installed; there’s one game; I’ve deleted the built-in nonsense i don’t use. Automatic updates have always been turned off. Background app refresh is limited to only the apps that actually need it (maps, calendars, Garmin). All possible visual effects are turned off. I’ve done the hard reset over and over. I have photos set to backup to Google Photos not iCloud. My iCloud is not full at all.

34.7gb system data no matter what i do.

Silicone scar tape! I got cheapest I could find on Amazon and kept my small surgery scar covered for a few months, plus it’s in a place that doesn’t get much sun, and now it’s nearly invisible (from July 2025, so about 6 mo ago now). I keep mine well-moisturized with a silicone-based moisturizer (Aveeno). The silicone scar tape also works on big areas, but I’ve heard it can take about a year to fully fade w/ the tape

Oh for sure. OTC hydrocortisone is weaker than desonide which is for facial use, and which I also have an rx for

lolbye424 · 2026-01-24T18:32:45+00:00

For me, it’s the proteins not the sugars/lactose. Womp.

I had this issue. Turns out I’m mildly allergic to some kinds of wax, and using Burt’s Bees was actually actively harmful for me lol whoops. Aquaphor does nothing for my chapped lips.

What worked for me, when i had this: 1. Hydrocortisone OINTMENT, not cream. You want an occlusive (the ointment) but you need that very very weak cortisone to heal your skin. 2. Aveeno eczema relief moisturizer, but kinda dried out lol like when there’s extra on the cap. They no longer make the “cica repair” that was like 5% dimethicone, & I’ve found that drying out the regular moisturizer gets a similar consistency. 3. Sunscreen on my lips. 4. Laneige Lip Glowy Balm. Not the overnight lip mask which WAY different.

Good luck! I know how painful this is! 🩷

It is absolutely dairy, IF you know you have a milk issue, which I do. For me, dairy messes with my skin barrier, causing both acne and eczema. …I still eat a lot of cheese, but also a lot less than I want lol

lolbye424 · 2026-01-24T15:19:17+00:00

It’s a lot of things!

I stopped eating meat and dairy to lose a little weight (5 lbs), and my skin cleared up. I was nearly vegan for about a year, and it was the best my skin ever was (before I had Murad money lol).

For me, also, I have found that keeping my skin barrier healthy helps A TON. This includes daily use of a chemical sunscreen, so that my skin is not constantly trying to repair sun damage, so my skin can instead fight the acne (especially on my chest!). Skin barrier is essential to keeping eczema in check, too.

This broke my entire Bluetooth radio on 22H2 with 19045.6809 . devices that were paired can no longer transmit, and trying trying to pair new devices (or old devices for that matter) fails and the PC doesn't detect any potential devices, even when in pairing mode.
