Windows 10: Bluetooth Connection Issue

I have Bluetooth on my desktop computer and it worked fine until recently.Bluetooth is enabled natively on this computer, but the troubles started when I added a third party Bluetooth dongle. This worked for a while, but then stopped following a Windows Update some 3 months ago,This issue I'm having is in connecting a device. The device keyboard, mouse just isn't detected.The Windows troubleshooter said it started the Bluetooth radio, but that didn't fix the issue.A different website said to go to More Bluetooth Settings Setting->Bluetooth and Devices->Devices and tick the Discovery

Bluetooth Connection Issue - headphones, LE vs regular connection

Hello,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forum.

To have a better clarity on the issue and guide you accordingly, respond to the questions listed below:

1. Have you tried connecting the headphones to another computer and check if it’s working fine?
   
2. What is the make and model of the computer?
   

Meanwhile, I would suggest you with few simple steps. Kindly follow the same.

Step 1: Troubleshoot problems with Bluetooth accessories.

If you can turn on Bluetooth but are having problems pairing or using a Bluetooth accessory, kindly follow the article which gives you steps on
Audio troubleshoot problems from - Fix Bluetooth problems in Windows - Microsoft Support

Step 2: There are two terms regarding Bluetooth: pairing and connecting. Pairing is the introduction of one device to another. Once paired, they will stay in each other’s memory until manually erased. Once a device
is paired, the headset can then connect to that device to receive audio or voice from the device.

• Go into the device's paired list and manually select the Bluetooth.
  
• You may need to clear your paired list in your headset and re-pair your headset to your device.
  
• To clear your paired list in your headset, follow these steps: on the headset, press and hold the call and volume – buttons for 10 seconds
  
• The headset will revert to discoverable mode (slowly blinking LED), allowing you to re-pair the computer you want connect.
  

We await your response.

Hi Marvin,

Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.
I will surely help you to fix this issue.

To understand the issue better, I would need more information fromyour end.

• Is the Bluetooth headset getting detected on the computer? Do you get any error message while connecting it?
• Are you able to connect other Bluetooth devices?
• Does the Bluetooth headset works fine on other computer?

This issue may occur due to damaged or incompatible drivers.

Bluetooth driver from the manufacturer’s website and save it on your local disk.

b. Right-click on the setup file of the driver and select “Properties”.

d. Place a check mark next to “Run this program in Compatibility mode” and
select latest Windows version from the drop down list.
