Bluetooth headset showing up as other device in Windows 10 settings.

Hi Elena,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



This normally happens due to the Bluetooth connectivity issue. I would suggest to try the methods given below and let us know if it works.



Method 1: Check services.

• Open the Run dialog box by pressing the
  Windows key and the R key together.
  
• Type SERVICES.MSC and hit the Enter key.
  
  
  

Check each of the following services and ensure that they are in running state. You may also restart the services if they are already running.

• Bluetooth Support Service
  
• Bluetooth Audio Gateway Service
  
• Bluetooth Handsfree Service (this service may or may not be available on your computer depending on the Windows 10 version).
  
• BluetoothUserService_8c55026
  

Method 2: Check if the headset is in disabled state.

• Right click on the Volume icon (bottom right corner) and select
  Sounds.
  
• If the headset is not listed under the playback devices, right click on the empty space of the window and select Show disabled devices which should list the device.
  
• Right click on it and select Enable.
  
• Again right click on the device name and select Set as default device.
  

Method 3: Remove and repair headset.

• Go to settings->Devices->Bluetooth & other devices.
  
• Under Bluetooth, select the device you’re having problems with, select
  Remove device and clickYes.
  
  
• To re-add the device, go to
  Action center, select Connect and then select your device.
  
• Follow any more instructions that might appear. Otherwise, you're done and connected.
  

Method 4: Update/Reinstall Bluetooth drivers.


If the above steps does not fix the issue, you may try updating or reinstalling the Bluetooth drivers of your computer. I would suggest you to refer the article on
Fix Bluetooth problems in Windows 10.
Kindly refer section '6' to update your system's Bluetooth drivers. You can also refer the subsection
Audio under Troubleshoot problems with Bluetooth accessories
and check if it is helpful to you.



Hope it helps.

Feel free to contact back in case, you have any questions or need any further assistance with this issue.

Bluetooth in windows 10

So I bought a new Bluetooth headphones the skull candy uproar since my old one isn't working. It came with only the headset and usb charging cable. The problem is I can't seem to pair it to my pc. I have windows 10 by the way. There is no Bluetooth on off button in windows settings. I went to device manager but there us no icon for Bluetooth. I did everything I knew but none of it worked.I can post pictures if anyone needs.An alternative might be a Bluetooth dongle but I m not sure I'd it would work plus I paid $50 so don't wanna spend more

I looked up on Internet and many people seem to have issues with windows 10 and Bluetooth. I thought of asking here knowing my UK friends are smart.

Anyone have any idea of how to get Bluetooth to work on my pc.

PS don't curse windows 10. I already know it's a mess and not a very good os.
