Windows 10: Bluetooth fails to connect, Event ID 16

All devices fail to connect to bluetooth. In event viewer I see Event ID 16 for the BTHUSB source: The mutual authentication between the local Bluetooth adapter and a device with Bluetooth adapter address xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx failed.


I've tried updating, rolling back, uninstalling/reinstalling the drivers, disabling/reenabling bluetooth via the bios, sfc /scannow, and cleaning the registry for the addresses listed. The bluetooth is integrated into the motherboard ASUS ROG Maximus XI Hero Wi-Fi, I've also replaced the motherboard and attempted to used an external usb bluetooth dongle and am getting the same error....


I'm running win10 20H2 x64.


Note, I've tried connecting multiple bluetooth devices mouse, keyboard, xbox controller, and headphones to my PC but all result in event ID 16. I've also verified that those devices can successfully connect to other devices.


At this point I'm at a loss for what to try next.

Hi, suggest you try Hard Disk Sentinel (trial) - gives a great quick analysis (SSDs too).

Please post the results.

Event ID 153:
This event may be an indication that the specified drive may be failing soon. This is especially true if the event is recorded regularly. The first step is to run the maintenance utilities related to hard drives, starting with CHKDSK and the utilities available from the manufacturer for that specific brand.

Event ID 10016

Solved Numerous event id 10016 errors win 8 pro 64 bit

Here is the basic outline ...

1. Search the registry for the CLSID
2. Make note of the Default Value, which is the name (ex. ShellExperienceHost, RuntimeBroker) you're going to look for in DCOM
3. Change the Owner to Administrators
4. Give Administrators Full Control
5. Repeat steps 1-4 for the APPID
6. WinKey + s > type in component services > click on Component Services in list
7. Component Services > Computers > My Computer > DCOM Config
8. Change the View to Details
9. Find the name from step 2 (ex. ShellExperienceHost, RuntimeBroker)
10. Right Click on the Name > Properties
11. Select the Security Tab
12. Launch & Activation Permissions > Click Edit
13. Look for the offending user from the 10016 (ex. System, Local Service) and make sure it has the activation requested (ex. Local Activation). If the offending user does NOT exist, you have to add it and give it Local Launch and Local Activation
14. Click Apply
15. Close DCOM and Regedit
16. Reboot PC

Note: Make sure you understand the steps before doing them

 

Event ID 2

Well I did search for it on Google and that's one of the suggestions that came up. See: event id 2 Session "" failed to start with the following error: 0xC0000022 - Google Search

It's a bit complicated thought as it seems many things could trigger that error
