    Bluetooth suddenly stopped working, and under hidden devices in Device Manager. Went through all the support steps to restart and turn on device to no avail. Finally uninstalled device and re-installed, and rebooted. It still doesn't appear in Device Manager, even as hidden device. Ran bluetooth troubleshooter, it's just not detecting the hardware saying laptop has no bluetooth capability. Anyone have some advice??

    :)

    Bluetooth Technology Gets Faster With Bluetooth 3.0

    From its annual All Hands Meeting in Tokyo this week, the Bluetooth SIG formally adopted Bluetooth Core Specification Version 3.0 + High Speed (HS), or Bluetooth 3.0. This latest iteration of the popular short-range wireless technology fulfills the consumers' need for speed while providing the same wireless Bluetooth experience – faster. Manufacturers of consumer electronics and home entertainment devices can now build their products to send large amounts of video, music and photos between devices wirelessly at speeds consumers expect.
    Bluetooth 3.0 gets its speed from the 802.11 radio protocol. The inclusion of the 802.11 Protocol Adaptation Layer (PAL) provides increased throughput of data transfers at the approximate rate of 24 Mbps. In addition, mobile devices including Bluetooth 3.0 + HS will realize increased power savings due to enhanced power control built in.


    "Like Ricky Bobby in Talladega Nights, this latest version was 'born to go fast,' said Mike's Blog, Ph.D., executive director of the Bluetooth SIG. "Utilizing the 802.11 radio was a natural choice as it provides efficiencies for both our members and consumers – members get more function out of the two radios they are already including in devices, and consumers with Bluetooth 3.0 + HS products will get faster exchange of information without changing how they connect. We are excited to expand the possibilities of the PAN."

    This newest version of Bluetooth technology builds on the inherent qualities of the current 2.1 + EDR version, including Simple Secure Pairing and built-in, automatic security. And as with all versions of theBluetooth specification, v3.0 + HS provides developers, manufacturers and consumers with the benefit of backwards compatibility, enabling both the expansion and enhancement of this technology with every new specification release. Once products reach the market, the easiest way for consumers to learn which devices are compatible with other Bluetooth enabled devices is to visit the Bluetooth Gadget Guide.

    Applications
    With the availability of Bluetooth version 3.0 + HS, consumers can expect to move large data files of videos, music and photos between their own devices and the trusted devices of others, without the need for cables and wires. Some applications consumers will experience include:
    • Wirelessly bulk synchronize music libraries between PC and music player or phone
    • Bulk download photos to a printer or PC
    • Send video files from camera or phone to computer or television
    Availability

    The Bluetooth SIG's formal adoption of the specification is only the first step in the product lifecycle. News out today from wireless chip manufacturers and Bluetooth SIG member companies Atheros, Broadcom and CSR shows the second step – getting silicon solutions to device manufacturers – is already underway. End products for consumers are expected to be in the market in 9 to 12 months.

    Technical Specifications
    This new specification release includes several major enhancements (learn more here - page requires member login):
    • Generic Alternate MAC/PHY (AMP)
    • 802.11 Protocol Adaptation Layer (PAL)
    • Generic Test Methodology
    • Enhanced Power Control
    • Unicast Connectionless Data

  3. Bluetooth help.

    Hi thanks for all the replies, the funny thing the last one i had before installed the drivers and the software but the software stopped working about 3 weeks ago and it wouldn't install the sofware after that so I though it was broken hence getting the new ones which are the same as i had before. yes the bluetooth icon is in the Device Manager all it says is
    Bluetooth Radios
    Generic Bluetooth
    Microsoft Bluetooth Enumerator
    and it is my new phone i want to conect to the Desktop PC.

    If the drivers are there then i just need the software, any ideas of a good free one or a good one.

    Bluetooth in windows 10

    A couple of questions.

    1. Is this a desktop or a notebook?
    2. If it's a desktop, do you have Bluetooth dongle? Most desktops don't have built in Bluetooth.
    3. Have you installed the driver for the Bluetooth device? If not, then it won't show up.

    As long as the correct driver is installed, it should work just fine.
