Windows 10: Bluetooth adapter cannot start code 10

I am unable to connect ANY bluetooth devices. I have tried all of the other solutions including troubleshooting, updating drivers, uninstalling and reinstalling.I have a TUF GAMING B550M-PLUS WI-FI motherboard and Intel R Wireless Bluetooth R. It reads STATUS_DEVICE_POWER_FAILURE code 10

Bluetooth adapter device cannot start (code 10)

Thank you for replying. Forgive me, I used the wrong terminology (I will edit the original post). I will clarify again here.

I cannot connect any bluetooth devices to my PC since the bluetooth adapter
driver has the status:

This device cannot start. (Code 10)

STATUS_DEVICE_POWER_FAILURE

I never received this error until after the Fall Creator's update. After several failed attempts to delete and reinstall the adapter driver, I tried to uninstall the Windows update. On start-up, I began to receive the following error message:

There was a problem starting C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\Bluetooth\btmshellex.dll. The specified module could not be found.

I tried deleting and reinstalling the driver and using troubleshooting software (given by Microsoft) but the adapter still has the same device status. The adapter itself is fully functioning on other operating systems on my PC.

My PC is custom-built, the motherboard is an ASROCK Z270 Killer SLI, which has the bluetooth adapter built into it. The driver for it is the Intel(R) Wireless Bluetooth(R) driver (version 19.41.0.1).

 

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

 

Bluetooth driver error 10 when converted to Windows 10

Hi,

Apologies for the late reply.

Error code 10 is a driver error, as you have already tried to install the drivers I would suggest you to un-install and re-install drivers and check.



Try the following steps:


Follow the steps mentioned below:

• 
  Right on the start icon and click on device manager
  
• 
  Select Bluetooth adapter, right click on it and click on un-install.
  
• 
  Restart the computer,
  
• 
  Now, install the latest drivers from the manufacturer's website.
  
  
  
  Hope this helps.
