In this guide, we will show you a nifty workaround to fix the issue of Bluetooth not working after the Mac bootup. Recently I had installed the latest macOS Seqioua update and right after that, all hell broke loose as I was greeted with quite a few issues. But none could come close to the Bluetooth connectivity bug.
More often than not, the Mac booted directly to the recovery instead of the system and asked to connect Bluetooth accessories. And even if it did boot to the OS in rare cases, then it was not able to identify the connected Bluetooth mouse or keyboard. If you are also facing any of these issues, then this guide will help you rectify it once and for all. So without further ado, let’s get started.
Bluetooth not working after Mac Bootup
As strange as it may sound, the culprit behind this issue is File Vault. This is a built-in security feature in the macOS that encrypts data so that it is safeguarded from unauthorized access. Unfortunately turning it off might result in a less secure environment, but for now, this is the only way that is spelling out success. So let’s give it a try using the below-listed steps and then check out the results.
- Head to the Apple menu and click on System Settings.
- Now select Privacy & Security from the left-hand side.
- Then go to File Vault, disable it, and check the results.
That’s it. These were the steps to fix the issue of Bluetooth not working after the Mac bootup. If you have any queries concerning the aforementioned steps, do let us know in the comments. We will get back to you with a solution at the earliest.
