Yes, I tried that but it doesn't work. The new Roku menu only has specific profiles from which you select headphones, smartphone/tablet, wireless speakers, and subwoofer. The headphone profile is the only one that can see my PC but it doesn't work, probably since that would transmit from the Roku rather than receive.
With the previous Roku functionality, you simply paired it from the PC, the Streambar appearing in the Windows pairing dialog just like any other BT speaker or headphones. I got it to connect earlier but now, as I mentioned, it doesn't appear in the Windows dialog anymore, again suggesting something on the Streambar end.
One other observation is that when my PC is connected to another BT speaker or headphones, in the Windows Bluetooth settings screen those devices read, "Connected music" but the Roku only said "Connected." So as described in my original post, it connected but not properly.
I know you mentioned the problem started after a Roku OS update (presumably 11.5.x Build 4xxx). Have you tried downloading the latest Intel Bluetooth drivers for your Windows PC? I'm assuming you have an Intel chipset. Not through Windows Update settings. Use the Intel Driver Support Assistant (link below):
Intel® Driver & Support Assistant
It will give you the latest Bluetooth code and then retest.

Intel Assistant shows no available updates. All drivers are the latest for motherboard chipset, BT adapter, etc. Plus, as noted previously, all other BT devices are working fine, even newly paired devices. Only the Roku Streambar fails to show up in the pairing dialog. I'm not surprised, since Roku totally overhauled BT functionality in the Streambar; some bugs are expected.
I bought the whole blast sound system today, sound bar, subwoofer and speakers. It was around 410$. Yikes. I connected my phone and loved the sound and was very excited to connect it to my pc. Some reason the Bluetooth option does not even show up for pc/computer like it says on website and box. I tried connecting it to the pc multiple times but it just would not show up. Extremely disappointing. Likely going to return and just buy a Roku stick and a separate sound system. This is on my windows 11
