Windows 10: Bluetooth devices detected by laptop, but will not connect

As the title says, my headphones are detected not paired but won't connect to my laptop, and I've been doing everything I can think of for a combined total of five hours with no results. I know it's not the headphones because they connect to my phone and my old laptop like a charm, and an attempt to connect my phone to my computer via bluetooth also fails, so the laptop is the common link. I feel like I've done just about everything besides uninstalling updates and resetting windows, the latter of which is an ABSOLUTE last resort as I'm in the middle of an intensive college semester where I

Windows can't detect bluetooth headphones

Hi,

I also had the same issue, it was quite irritating. The audio technica bluetooth device was detected by iphone and samsung phones but when I search with my laptop ( windows 10) it was not discoverable. The device was not showing in the bluetooth list of
discoverable devices. Pressed the headphone switch for long period but the laptop couldnot detect it. Did all the setting changes, changed all the options and updated all the drivers but still it was not detected.

I read somewhere that bluetooth uses something which is common with the wifi so I made sure that the wifi was enabled, airplane made was off. Next disconnected the laptop from the internet wifi connection. Once the laptop wifi was disconnected, it search
the bluetooth headset under 'Bluetooth & other device' and the device was listed. Previously when the laptop wifi was connected to the router, the bluetooth headset was not detected but after disconnecting from the router it was detected.

Steps:

1. Airplane mode: OFF

2. Wifi ON but not connected to any device

3. bluetooth ON

4. Search for the device

Hope this helps!!

 

Microsoft Designer Mouse not detected by laptop, even though other bluetooth devices do work, and this mouse works on other computers.

I bought the Designer Mouse. My laptop with Windows 10 does not even detect it. It's a Microsoft mouse so it has to be compatible. It works on another laptop which has windows 8.1. It even works on my android phone! Other devices appear on the list of
the laptop in question, for example my phone is there and connects without problems . Moreover, the laptop itself is detectable by other devices via Bluetooth.
Additionally, another Bluetooth mouse (dell) isn't detectable either. So it seems that this laptop is "allergic" to Bluetooth mice.

I looked into the Bluetooth drivers in the device manager and it says they are up to date.

The device manager lists Intel centrino wireless Bluetooth 3.0 + high speed adapter as the Bluetooth device

I'd be incredibly grateful for any suggestions. It's an Xmas gift for my sister and I really don't want to return it.

Thanks in advance
