Windows 10: Trying to connect a Wii Remote to Windows 10 through Bluetooth - and failing miserably

So I've recently been attempting to connect one of my Wii Remotes to my Windows 10 laptop using Bluetooth. However, no such luck despite everything I've done. I've installed the HiD Wiimote driver, I've disabled driver signature enforcement and even Devices and Printers says that it's connected. And the Wii Remote is blinking without any outside input, so that should mean that it's connected. Yet it's not.


So what do I do? What am I doing wrong? I'm trying to play Cave Story+ with the Wii Remote btw.

Connecting a Wii Remote through Bluetooth

Hi,

I am Wilfredo an Independent advisor

Try This

Start the Bluetooth device with which the Wii Remote will connect.

Press the "1" and "2" buttons together on the Wii control. The LED lights will flash on the remote. This action will activate the Wii Remote in the mode that allows it to be discovered by the Bluetooth device you wish to connect. Continue pressing the buttons
throughout the association process.

Find the Wii Remote through the Bluetooth device in the connection component. The Wii Remote will be identified by the connection device as "NINTENDO-RVT-CNT-01".

Click on the "Next" button. When asked for a security code or PIN, click on the "Skip" button and leave the field blank.

Click on the "Keyboard / Mouse / HID Service" and click "OK". The Wii Remote now appears in the list of connected devices.

I hope it helps you

 

Bluetooth: Issue connecting Wii Controller (Wiimote)


The typical Bluetooth default/generic pairing code is 0:0:0:0 entered without colons (0000). Try that first. If that doesn't work, check out this dolphin.wiki article: Wii Remote Plus (RVL-CNT-01-TR) Connection Guide - Dolphin Emulator Wiki. There's an encouraging post about using the Toshiba Bluetooth stack on the smoothboard.net exchange: Smoothboard Air Wii Remote Plus (Nintendo RVL-CNT-01-TR) Connection Issue. If that doesn't help, here's a depressing snippet from Yahoo "If whatever you are trying to connnect to requires a code, then you will be unable to pair with that device."
Hope you can get it sorted. My sympathies!

Can't Connect Wii Motion Plus Remote on Windows 10 Creators Update

I have this issue too.

On the previous version of Windows 10, you were able to pair with a bluetooth device without entering a PIN code.

Now is this made impossible with the consequences that the Wii Remote I used to connect to my PC is not able to connect anymore.

I hope this issue will be solved soon as I strongly depend on the Wii Remote in my developing of new applications.
