Bluetoothctl fails with "br-connection-key missing"

I’ve been trying to get Bluetooth working properly across my dual-boot setup. I followed the arch wiki guide on dual boot pairingextracted the keys from Windows, and set up the configuration files on Linux as described.

However, after multiple reboots and double-checking the files, I still can’t get the device to connect. Running bluetoothctl gives

Failed to connect: org.bluez.Error.Failed br-connection-key-missing

Is there something I'm doing wrong? Any help would be appreciated

Re: Bluetoothctl fails with "br-connection-key missing"

I`ve had this problem and I decided to connect manualy trough command line and saw that I am unable to pair so I copied commands form this site
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/793 … on-problem.
It didn`t make a diffrence  so I got the idea to block the device with I cannot connect ,then search for it and i was able to connect again. I have no clue are these commands are helpfull or not.
