Latest Intel Wireless Bluetooth Driver for Windows 11

Intel in their infinite wisdom:

If I go to the link directly from the first post, or Oat's link above, 23.40.0 is not even listed. It shows 23.30.0 as (Latest).



I have to manually pick 23.10.0, and then there is a warning that a newer version exists, and only then does it give me the option to get 23.40.0 - but it still labels .30 as Latest lol!



This is using Firefox, so that may be a factor - but the links are both generic links, and should show all available versions that Intel has to offer, I shouldn't have to jump through (admittedly, small) hoops to get the download I want....

I'm also using Firefox, but I have no such problems. The link provided, which is the page I've had bookmarked for a while, always shows me the latest available version first.

Never, ever does for me - I tried Edge and Chrome too. It always shows me 23.30.x as latest, and I have to select an older build to even see 23.40.

This has been an ongoing thing, too, for quite a while, both with these BT drivers and the Killer networking drivers, for me, really since Intel acquired Rivet.

So, not browser based - may be something else. I'll test with and without my Google One VPN, see if that makes a difference. Though my location is definitely set within the continental US, so it really shouldn't - but stranger things have happened.

Here is the link to download and install manually

Which is the same link in the first post.

Here's the direct link:

So, yeah, I got the file already, as seen in the second screen shot, boxed in green.

It's just irritating that it would not show it until I selected a driver version older than 23.30.x, as that was showing as the newest. This seems to happen to me every time a new driver is out and reported here, both by Killer (for the E2600 / E3000G / AF1650) as well as by Intel (for the Intel BT).
