Add a "run troubleshooter" to my desktop for Bluetooth?

antspants · Jul 25, 2023

Greetings, fellow Martians.

I tried removing my Asus Maximus VI before disconnecting the wireless antenna and the result is I stripped the wires. So I had to buy a new Bluetooth/Wireless device, a TP-Link Archer TX3000E AX3000 Wi-Fi 6 Bluetooth 5.0 PCI Express.

Pre yanking out my motherboard, I had never encountered any Bluetooth issues, ever. Since the installation of the wireless adapter (USB header is connected) I lose Bluetooth functionality randomly and have to run the Bluetooth Troubleshoot which re-installs the device driver.

So my question is, to save me 60sec, is there a way to add the following troubleshoot to my desktop?

It's either that or I need to track down another MPCI Combo II M.2 NGFF in Australia.

Thanks

Copy this text to "BTDiag.vbs", and click on the file to create a shortcut.

Code:

Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
strDesktop = WshShell.SpecialFolders("Desktop")
Set oMyShortCut = WshShell.CreateShortcut(strDesktop+"\Bluetooth Diag.lnk")
oMyShortCut.WindowStyle = 4
oMyShortcut.IconLocation = "%SystemRoot%\System32\bthudtask.exe"
oMyShortCut.TargetPath = "%SystemRoot%\System32\msdt.exe"
oMyShortCut.Arguments = "-id BluetoothDiagnostic"
oMyShortCut.WorkingDirectory = "%SystemRoot%\System32"
oMyShortCut.Save

Hi @garlin.
Just to clarify, I add this in a notepad file and save the file as BTDiag.vbs?
I don't think I am right because it didn't seem to do anything.

Ahhh I see what you did there. Brilliant, thank you so much!

Wait til you see my next software shortcut request related to blocking all network activity via Kaspersky. This is apparently a challenge.

Thanks again!

This joke practically writes itself: Kaspersky blocks all network traffic!!

But seriously, most 3rd-party security products are UI-based, and don't support scripting other than to deploy software, or load a previously saved configuration. You may be disappointed...

I suspected that was the issue. I'll make a post somewhere.

"This joke practically writes itself: Kaspersky blocks all network traffic!!"

It costs me $10 a year for 5 devices, comes with a free full VPN etc, so yeah, it's not everyone's fav but my wallet loves it.

Trying that method in Brinks tutorial opens a box that asks for the passkey my support professional gave me. I asked my psychiatrist but she didn't know what I was talking about.
