  1. Bluetooth Will not Pair Windows 10


    So it all started when I updated to the optional Windows 10 20H2 Upgrade. I thought it would be safer and make my PC experience more enjoyable. I was wrong! First, soon after the update my graphical drivers stopped working. The brightness was stuck at the lowest setting and even though I moved the brightness bar it made no difference. I had to manually uninstall and reinstall the driver. Then, the worst one, my Bluetooth stopped working! First the Bluetooth would not turn on and the Bluetooth on the Notification panel was gone. I fixed it by reinstalling the Bluetooth drivers and refreshing everything related to Bluetooth. Then, I had another Bluetooth problem. I had to rest my Bluetooth Headset BH for an unrelated reason. I know that when pairing my reset headset, a notification will pop up telling me to confirm the connection and allow it access. This time however, it did not show up. After searching on the web it said to forget the device and re-pair.


    Pairing Details:

    - Device name will show up but will not connect

    - BH is in paring mode and is at 100%

    - BH will connect and pair with my other Windows 10 computer

    - BH has been paired and working with my computer for about 6 months before this


    I have tried what feels like every solution:

    - Uninstalling and Reinstalling Bluetooth drivers

    - Going to Services and starting all Bluetooth related programs

    - Running Bluetooth trouble shooter

    - Restarting my computer several times


    Please fix this! I uninstalled the optional update but everything is still messed up!

    :)

  2. Bluetooth does not Recognize/Pair/See Bluetooth Hardware


    System Information: Asus Notebook UX303L, Windows 10, Microsoft Arc Touch Mouse Surface Edition

    Okay, I've been working on this for awhile and have tried a million things. I'm going back to square one so pretend I haven't tried anything yet.

    Here is the problem.

    I just upgraded to Windows 10 (from windows 8.1) on a 2 month old laptop. On previous version there were NO problems with bluetooth. The problems started immediately after upgrade.

    When the upgrade finished Windows 10 remembered all of my previous Bluetooth pairs. My bluetooth mouse (Microsoft Arc Touch Mouse Surface Edition) worked before the installation but after my system reboot the cursor no longer showed movement. The batteries are new. The mouse is acting exactly like it does when it is properly connected (lights flash, makes scrolling sounds, etc). When I checked the Bluetooth device screen it still showed as paired. I rebooted. No change. So I unpaired the device. When I unpaired the device it flashed for a second as a possible device to pair with and then was no longer on the list. Other possible devices to pair with appear and disappear from the list without cause. (Ex. sees a scanner for a few seconds then no longer has a scanner. Sometimes its up for a few minutes at most but the list is constantly flickering.) So I rebooted. Then it did not see the mouse at all. I did this for several days. Sometimes when I would turn on my laptop it would flicker, sometimes it would not. After about 3 days with no explanation it suddenly showed up and did not flicker. I connected the mouse and it worked for about 2 days. On the 3rd day I tried again, and the cursor would no longer respond even though the mouse was acting exactly the same. I rebooted. No change. I unpaired the device and it never showed up on the list. It's flickered a few times but when I click on it to pair it pops up with an error basically saying "cannot pair. Please check and see if the device is still set to connect to bluetooth." That is only on the rare occasion that it actually shows up on the list long enough to hit pair (maybe 2 times out of 50 attempts or more.)

    I've tried everything I can think of, but I'd like to try everything in order that someone else would try to see if I'm missing something.

    It is a Microsoft mouse by all means it should work on Microsoft drivers. :/ Arg. Please give any suggestions to help.

    Bluetooth in windows 10

    So I bought a new Bluetooth headphones the skull candy uproar since my old one isn't working. It came with only the headset and usb charging cable. The problem is I can't seem to pair it to my pc. I have windows 10 by the way. There is no Bluetooth on off button in windows settings. I went to device manager but there us no icon for Bluetooth. I did everything I knew but none of it worked.I can post pictures if anyone needs.An alternative might be a Bluetooth dongle but I m not sure I'd it would work plus I paid $50 so don't wanna spend more

    I looked up on Internet and many people seem to have issues with windows 10 and Bluetooth. I thought of asking here knowing my UK friends are smart.

    Anyone have any idea of how to get Bluetooth to work on my pc.

    PS don't curse windows 10. I already know it's a mess and not a very good os.

    Bluetooth in windows 10

    My computer specs are as listed in the profile. I think all of you guys are correct. I don't have built-in Bluetooth in mobo.

    I contacted skull candy headphones and thy have told me if I do not have built-in Bluetooth, I would need a dongle which supports at least a2dp. I do not know what the heck that means. I have a feeling I would need more than a cheap dongle.

    Anyone suggest some a2dp adapters. I searched but don't know what a2dp is so couldn't make a decision
