Question Blackbird - OS: Windows 11, Problem: microsft store and bluetooth discovery not working.

[stamato]

Blackbird --- Is work being done to improve Blackbird on Windows 11? Microsoft store is broken and cannot search for bluetooth devices. Built in fixes dont work. The -ks option for Kill/Revive is confusing. Only response is "Kill" but i am guessing it is really toggling between kill and revive (although it never revives)

If this is the program you are talking about, it doesn't appear to have been upgraded since Dec last year - https://www.getblackbird.net/documentation/changelog/

there doesn't appear to be a way to contact them on their website.

not sure if guide will help - https://www.majorgeeks.com/content/page/blackbird_(windows_privacy_app)_guide_and_tutorial.html

There is a new version of win 11 soon, so they might need to update program to account for changes made since December last year. MS don't just stop, the updates this year might have broken the changes that program makes.

Have you tried removing program to see if it reverses any changes it made? You might need to to get Store/BT access.

Yes my pc is ok.. i made a restore point. I expected this to not be perfect but just cant hack at it forever. A lot of times you can find answers online from discussions. Not much talk out there for Blackbird. Also I posted here because appearantly the developer had posted here in the past. I was looking at other options like Shutup but they are Microsoft partners, that is odd. After cruizing the web and looking for a good tool for this it looks like no one really cares about their privacy. Lots of comments like "None is collecting or cares about your data".. hmmm OK. This pc is for my wife and i cannot deal with problems... if it were mine i would hack more at it or just live without MS Store. Thanks for the comment.

I'm going through the same thing. The store is not working. A triangle appears when you apply the update or search for apps button. Bluetooth. It is not displayed completely so it cannot be activated Nor add devices. Did you manage to find any way to resolve this? I think this program will not be updated soon. But I love him

I would suggest making your own question on this as people will help.
