I have bought a separate Bluetooth-Stick to fix this issue but this resulted in a weird behaviour. The moment I attached the Bluetooth-Stick to windows host, the integrated bluetooth module started to work within HA. Windows host had bluetooth via the new stick. So suddenly everthing was working fine. I have removed the bluetooth stick. HA was still fine. I have not reattached the stick.
I have then upgraded to OS 9.4 and also upgraded to 2022.12. Still everything was fine.
I have restarted the host and integrated bluetooth module is not working in HA anymore. Tried to reproduce the behaviour with the stick but with no luck.
If I unassign the bluetooth module (on Intel Wifi chip) and then I assign the stick to HA then it crashes. If I try to restart it, it will crash. Switching back to integrated bluetooth allows HA to start again but with no bluetooth.
PS: 7.6 is working but 8.0 RC1 is not.
