  1. Bluetooth headphones can connect to laptops but not my desktop


    Hey there!

    I have a pair of TaoTronics Bluetooth headphones that I regularly connect to both of my Windows 10 laptops. I haven't had any issues with either of those machines thus far.

    I just built a brand new Windows 10 desktop PC with an ASUS ROG STRIX B550 motherboard that supports Bluetooth. My TaoTronics headphones don't show up on the Bluetooth connection menu while trying to pair, even though the headphones are in pairing mode and all of the Windows switches are on to look for them. Weirdly, a second pair of cheaper Bluetooth headphones I own readily appear in the connection menu.

    What could be the issue here? Why can these headphones connect to two other PCs but not my desktop, especially when other headphones show up with no problem?

    Connecting Bluetooth wireless headphones to an HP laptop

    Hi Milicent,

    One of the reasons why you cannot connect the Bluetooth wireless headphones to your computer is due to an outdated driver. We would like to know more details about your concern, kindly answer the questions below:

    • Just to verify, by saying that you can't see the option in Settings, are you saying that the device can't be recognized by your computer?
    • Have you tried connecting the Bluetooth headset to a different computers?
    • Have you tried connecting your computer to a different Bluetooth device?

    Furthermore, we suggest that you update the drivers for your Bluetooth and headphone by following the steps provided in this

    We're looking forward to your response.
