Windows 10: Airpods not connecting to laptop properly

I recently tried to connect my airpods to my laptop but ran into a variety of issues. 1. The Bluetooth would disconnect after about 3 seconds2. IT would connect and be recognised as a device but audio would not come out of it and through my speakers and would not appear as an audio option. When I go to connect it as an audio output it doesn't work either

How to connect AirPods to a Windows laptop

Follow these steps to connect your AirPods to an HP Windows laptop.

1. Put the AirPods into their charging case

Close the case and wait a few seconds. Ideally, the AirPods should have at least 20% battery before you pair them to your laptop.

2. Open the AirPods case

Open the case and leave the AirPods inside while you follow the rest of these steps.

3. Press and hold the Setup button

The Setup button is the small, circular button on the backside of the case. Hold it down until you see the LED lights flashing on the inside (older AirPods) or front (AirPods Pro).

The Setup button puts the AirPods into pairing mode, an essential step for pairing any Bluetooth device.

4. Open the Start Menu

Click the Windows logo on your HP laptop to open the Start Menu on your laptop. With Windows 10, you’ll find it in the bottom left corner. Windows 11 users will see it in the bottom taskbar.

5. Go to Settings

Find the gear-shaped icon and click it to open Settings.

6. Open Bluetooth & devices

Windows 11 users should click Bluetooth & devices on the left-hand column. If you’re on Windows 10, click Devices on the Settings icon menu, then click Bluetooth & devices on the left column.

7. Add a new Bluetooth device

On Windows 10, click Add Bluetooth to other devices next to the grey plus icon. Windows 11 users must click the blue Add Device button within the Devices row.

8. Choose Bluetooth

A pop-up screen will give you the options of Bluetooth, Wireless display or dock, and Everything else.

Choose Bluetooth.

9. Select your AirPods

After a few seconds, a list of available Bluetooth devices will load on the Add a device window. Click the icon for your AirPods.

10. Click Done

A window will pop up, declaring, “Your device is ready to go.” Click Done.

Airpods Don't Properly Connect to Laptop

Hello,

I have had my pair of Airpods Pro for longer than a year now and whenever I try to connect them to my laptop, it'**** or miss. At first I thought because these were Apple products and my laptop was not, I needed to turn bluetooth off on every Apple product I had near by. But it wasn't really about that. When my Airpods are properly connected to my laptop it says "Sound and music, connected" but when it doesn't work it only says "connected" without the "Sound and music," part. When it only says "connected" the connection is very unstable and it reconnects over and over again. I used to restart my computer to solve it but it doesn't work anymore and to be frank, it was a pain in the ****...Anyways, it's a mystery to me as to why this happens, I would love a solution, tysm for your help.
