Windows 10: Bluetooth in Windows 10: Why does each new pairing of device create separate instance of...

At first just annoying, but I'm no longer able to connect devices easily, sometimes at all. Drivers say they are up to date. I'm trying to connect to Microsoft Bluetooth Mouse and a Bose Speaker. Is there at least a way to remove all of these at once, without clicking each one individually?

Bluetooth Devices will not Pair


Hi,

Hopefully this is the correct Forum !

I have a Microsoft Mouse 5000 and Wedge keyboard (the early one that does not fold).
Both have been working perfectly.

Recently I paired them both successfully with a new Samsung tablet, but when I came to use them again on my laptop,
I found that I could not pair either of them.

I have spent countless hours researching this without success.

Here's where I am now:

Settings > Bluetooth & other devices does not list either of them.
Device Manager > Bluetooth has both of them showing and reports both working properly.

Device Manager reports as follows:

Notebook Mouse 5000:
No driver files are required or have been loaded
The Events tab says that further installation is required

Wedge Mobile Keyboard:
No driver files are required or have been loaded
The Events tab says that further installation is required

The 2 Service Discovery Service entries also report that further installation is required.

Can anyone suggest the way forward, please ?

Regards.

 

Bluetooth Stopped Pairing New Devices

Windows 10 will not pair any new devices.

Current Status:

• I am "Discoverable."
  
  
• Under "More Bluetooth Options," I have:
  
  "Allow Bluetooth Devices to find this PC" checked.
  
  "Alert me when a new device wants to connect" checked.
  
  "Show Bluetooth icon in the notification area" checked.
  
• In the past, I've been able to pair devices and currently have my phone, tv, and a headset in the device list. They work fine.
  

When Problem Started:

I "Forgot" 2 devices in order to re-pair them. After that, they will not repair and nothing additional will pair; I've tried multiple devices.

Things I've Tried:

1) Device Manager: Drivers are updated and current.

2) Checked manufacture drivers for individual devices.

3) Windows Update: Up to date, no missed updates.

4) Ran Troubleshooter: Bluetooth (no problems).

5) Ran Troubleshooter: Hardware and Devices (no problems).

6) Services: Restarted Bluetooth Support Service.

(rebooted).

 

Can't remove paired bluetooth devices in Windows 10

I made an account here just to thank you for this solution. I spent hours trying to remove a paired bluetooth controller from my machine from the bluetooth menu, device manager, even using third party programs. Every time I would go to pair the controller again the system would re-install the driver as soon as the controller went to pairing mode, but it wouldn't actually pair!

Removing it this way made it instantly show up in my pairing list and it works perfectly. I was about to reinstall Windows I was so frustrated.

Thank you!!!! You're my internet hero of the day.
