Cannot restart Bluetooth module on M1 mini

[VitoBotta]

I have Monterey installed on an M1 mini, and when I click on the Bluetooth button while pressing Shift+Option it only shows details about the devices, but not the option to reset the module. Has this changed in Monterey? Thanks

That is no longer present in Monterey. Instead, open terminal and run this command:

sudo pkill bluetoothd

Sorry for the title, I meant "reset", not "restart"

Does it work on my iMac as well?

I found another suggestion which seems to have worked:

1. Shutdown the Mac
2. Unplug the power cord
3. Wait for 10-15 seconds, then plug the cord
4. Wait for 5-10 seconds, then power on

Not sure what it does exactly but there's a big difference so far!

I will try it out. Thanks a lot
