BTQuickie

Windows 11 seems to have dropped support for the Windows + K combinations, which allows users to quickly access connected Bluetooth devices. If this is a permanent effect or just a temporary issue, is not sure yet. However, individuals who cannot wait for news in this regard might be able to solve this hindrance with BTQuickie — a lightweight program that does exactly what the OS was supposed to do when the mentioned hotkey was engaged.

BTQuickie is a portable tool, so it will skip any installation routine. What's more, users who handle multiple machines can copy the extracted directory to a removable storage device and deploy it each time its services are needed.

Interface-wise, the options are scarce, but considering what this app was created for, this shouldn't be a problem. Starting from the top, the first option is related to startup behavior. Next, the user can determine the BT discovery time. The default value is 2000 milliseconds, but it can take any other number. The final function deals with the hotkey. In order to avoid conflicting with the classic WIN+K combination, the app offers the Shift+Win+K hotkey, but that can be freely changed.

In short, BTQuickie is a tiny app that provides a solution to a problem encountered in Windows 11 only. If you have trouble accessing Bluetooth devices on this particular OS version, this tool might be the perfect solution.
