  2. Bluetooth connection error

    Thank you for your input Bill. I must've been unclear in my original post. The devices don't even show up even though they are on and visible to every other searching device I have tried this with (i.e. my phone and other computer where I plugged in the
    same adapter and it worked just fine).

    1. Turn on your Bluetooth device and make it discoverable.

      The way you make it discoverable depends on the device. Check the device or visit the manufacturer's website to learn how.
    2. Select the Start button > type Bluetooth > select Bluetooth settings from the list.
    3. Turn on Bluetooth > select the device > Pair.
    4. Follow any instructions if they appear. Otherwise, you're done and connected.
    So with these being the recommended steps to take here - I cant even complete step 3.

    Thank you

    Bluetooth: Is my computer discoverable or not?


    Thanks for your reply, spapakons. Does that mean, then, that if I don't put a tick in the box my PC won't be discoverable even though the earlier note still says, "Your PC. is searching for and can be discovered by Bluetooth devices"?

    Bluetooth error "discoverable"

    Disabling bluetooth discoverability in Win10 Pro 1903

    Found a solution which prevents discoverability of computer while still allowing you to pair with discoverable devices and use PAN.

    In device manager expand Bluetooth then right click your Bluetooth device. Select properties, details tab and pick 'device instance path' from selection list. Value displayed here is needed in the next step.

    Open registry go to:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Enum

    Under "Enum" fully expand entry corresponding with earlier 'device instance path' value.

    Under "Device Parameters" add or edit attribute "Write Scan Enable" of type DWORD 32-bit and set value 0.

    You may either disable then re-enable Bluetooth device from device manager or reboot computer for change to take effect.
