Windows 10: Bluetooth is not being detected.

So as we all know, Windows 10 is a total mess. I've had issues with Bluetooth ever since getting my computer. The first few times, i just updated the drivers. The next times, I'd had to disable and then enable the device in device manager. Now, it's not even showing up in device manager. After multiple restarts, it's still not working. The Bluetooth troubleshooter is about as useful as the missing "on-off" button in the Bluetooth settings, telling me "this device doesn't have Bluetooth capabilities" despite clearly having used them before. My Bluetooth is not an external device btw, so it's not like I just forgot to plug it in. Any help would be extremely useful, I have no idea what to do now that it's not showing up in the device manager and restarts do nothing.

Windows can't detect bluetooth headphones

Hi,

I also had the same issue, it was quite irritating. The audio technica bluetooth device was detected by iphone and samsung phones but when I search with my laptop ( windows 10) it was not discoverable. The device was not showing in the bluetooth list of
discoverable devices. Pressed the headphone switch for long period but the laptop couldnot detect it. Did all the setting changes, changed all the options and updated all the drivers but still it was not detected.

I read somewhere that bluetooth uses something which is common with the wifi so I made sure that the wifi was enabled, airplane made was off. Next disconnected the laptop from the internet wifi connection. Once the laptop wifi was disconnected, it search
the bluetooth headset under 'Bluetooth & other device' and the device was listed. Previously when the laptop wifi was connected to the router, the bluetooth headset was not detected but after disconnecting from the router it was detected.

Steps:

1. Airplane mode: OFF

2. Wifi ON but not connected to any device

3. bluetooth ON

4. Search for the device

Hope this helps!!
