Windows 10: Bluetooth not working on Lenovo Yoga 500 laptop

We have two of these laptops and neither will connect to bluetooth properly. Or rather, You can turn on bluetooth and pair the devices, but they don't connect. When I then click Connect, I get a message saying "That didn't work. Make sure your Bluetooth device is still discoverable, then try again."

I've tried a bluetooth speaker and headphones. I've checked that they work on another device, and I have checked that they aren't connected to another device (by switching off all other laptop and mobile bluetooth.

I've tried uninstalling Bluetooth and then manually reinstalling the drivers from a freshly downloaded file from the Lenovo website, but no luck.

I've run windows update too.

Any thoughts?

Bluetooth speaker (Lenovo 500) is connecting with laptop but sound is not coming

Hi Team,

I am having Lenovo Yoga 500 laptop which i use it to connect to my bluetooth stereo speaker Lenovo 500. My laptop is running the latest version of Windows 10 (last updated on 13-Jan-2016). It was working fine before last Nov 2015 big OS update.

After that (i checked it only this year), it is pairing and staying connected but the sound is not coming. Strangely the laptops speakers is also in sync with bluetooth speakers and even then no sound. Also i cannot hear the sound from the laptop speakers
when it is connected to a bluetooth speakers. Laptop speakers works well when it is not paired.

However the same bluetooth speaker is working perfectly fine with my Lumia 920 running WP 8.1.

Kindly provide your suggestions or solutions for this.

Thanks

Just a passing thought..
In a recent thread related to a Yoga laptop, different driver, it turned out a very specific version of the driver was needed, and not the one provided by Windows. Found via research and some luck from a post.
