Fixes low-quality Bluetooth headset audio on Windows 11 by resetting or disabling Hands-Free (HFP) call mode.
BluetoothHandsFreeToggle fixes Bluetooth headphones and gaming headsets stuck in low-quality Hands-Free (HFP) call mode after games such as Call of Duty, voice chat, browsers, or recording applications stop using the microphone. Soft Reset preserves microphone availability. Hard Mode disables HFP system-wide to force high-quality A2DP stereo playback. Restore returns the previous Windows service configuration.
Adds 30 interface languages with smart Windows language detection and a full language selection menu. Improves multilingual console table alignment. Adds localized WinGet metadata for every supported language.
