Going through the Control Panel and clicking the devices options forces me back into the settings app. I found a way to get around it through right click and selecting "open" in control panel. This let me finally get to my Bluetooth dView the full article

Brand new computer with Windows 11 Pro and upset that my full name is showing on the login screen and elsewhere else on the computer. My name is not needed to be displayed on my computer (log in, Start, etc.), this info should be kept hidden. I'd accept an alias or "user" or some other device, but my name should not be visible on general screens. I have tried several suggestions from the "community" but nothing works.
