No Bluetooth in Control Center Options

How to enable Bluetooth for Windows Guest OS?

MacBook Pro 2019 with Bluetooth has no mention of Bluetooth shown in Parallels Control Center Options, so no Bluetooth in Windows Guest OS.

"Hardware > USB" is shown but "Hardware > USB & Bluetooth" is NOT SHOWN. Also there is no Bluetooth icon or option shown in Windows Action Center (even after clicking Expand).

I struggled for hours before stumbling across the solution. go the parallels desktop mini icon in the top bar of your Mac and click configure, then click on the lock to unlock and click "+" and select "usb & bluetooth" then click lock again and everything will start again.

I have this problem. I have the Pro Edition, so in theory, I should have that bluetooth option, right? I don't.

I have Parallels Desktop 26 for Mac, Pro Edition, 26.0.1.

Hello Mark,
Thank you for reaching out.
Please note that Shared Bluetooth functionality has been removed from Parallels Desktop 26.
Bluetooth devices (e.g., keyboards, mice, or game controllers) connected to your Mac will continue to work normally in virtual machines.
