Windows 10: Bluetooth Plague: Devices suddenly require PINs or "pair" but don't connect.

The only thing I can associate this with is my recent Windows OS update (I'm not sure how far behind I was, maybe a few updates). I also installed the latest Nvidia drivers update and connected a second monitor. If it is helpful to know, my toolbar freezes sometimes when I'm trying to work through these connectivity issues.

I've tried a windows reset to later addition. Before that I tried the bluetooth troubleshooter, updating windows again, multiple restarts, and I'm clueless as to how to solve this.

Please help me.

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 pairing

To pair via Bluetooth you need a actually open the Bluetooth app then in most cases enter a pin or password once it finds something to pair with usually things like sound bars or home stereos don't require a pin or password Ps of course if you have previously
paired to a device then it will automatically pair when you are within range unless you remove the device from your paired device list
