SUMMARY Today I noticed the following weird issue. I disabled Bluetooth in the morning using the widget in the system tray. However, when I turned on my headset, they automatically connected to the laptop. They appear in the audio widget, but bluetooth is still shown as "disabled" even though the icon changed to the same icon as when a device is connected. Clicking on the enable button correctly fixed the wrong state. I still could not find a way to reproduce the issue, but I will update the report if I figure it out. At the moment there must be a way to keep the bluetooth enabled while showing as disabled in the system tray.

Weird. When it's in the wrong state, can you paste the output of `bluetoothctl show | grep -i power`?

Also, since in between I enabled the option to show the number of connected devices. Now it correctly shows that one device is connected but opening the widget shows like it's disabled. I will attach a video.
Created attachment 188145 [details] Video showing weird state of bluetooth widget To reach this state, I open the Bluetooth widget and turn it off there. Then I noticed that the headset connected to the laptop. The bluetooth widget is not shown directly in the main panel there because of the option "Only show when relevant", so when it's "off" it's only visible opening the status and notifications.

I'm not able to reproduce this on Plasma built from git-master, or 6.6.1 using the steps from the duplicate report 1. Set Bluetooth to remember the enabled / disabled state 2. Connect Bluetooth headphones 3. Disable Bluetooth 4. Reboot & check the Bluetooth widget Can you let us know if this still happens with Plasma 6.6.1? Thanks!

Also, I can add details for my case: 1. Asus Vivobook S5402Z laptop (with i7 12700H) 2. AX201 bluetooth adapter 3. Tested kernels cachyos 6.16-7.0rc1 Steps used to reproduce: 1. Enable bluetooth 2. Connect bluetooth headphones 3. Disable bluetooth 4. Reboot Result: Headphones autoconnect to the laptop and I can play media, meaning the bluetooth is actually fully working, and tray icon knows that. However the bluetooth popup itself still adheres to my choice of disabling bluetooth and ignores the working bluetooth. Since you are not able to reproduce it on your machine, anything else I can do to help you? Screenshot below showing the kde plasma version 6.6.1, tray icon displaying bluetooth as connected, while popup says disabled. https://ibb.co.com/dsHpm1ZK
Well darn. Thanks for letting us know. Someone more familiar with the Bluetooth functionality will have to take a closer look.
Yeah, same, I can still reproduce this (although not ALL the times). So probably a hard bug to debug that only affects some hardware.
Experiencing same issue, but bluetooth also shows as disabled in settings. Both doing systemctl status bluetooth.service and using bluetoothctl indicate that bluetooth is fully working, including pairing and using a wireless controller from the CLI.

Setting to confirmed since multiple people are experiencing this bug
