  1. Bluetooth refuses to connect to headphones until restarting service from settings


    Hello, I have a pair of Bluetooth headphones that I use with my computer. I already have it paired with the computer, and it shows up in the devices list just fine. Every day when I go to turn on my PC from cold shutdown and connect my headphones I have to go through the exceptionally annoying process of turning off Bluetooth using the slider in Settings, waiting at least 30 seconds specifically, and then turning it back on and clicking connect for it to work, otherwise it will consistently and immediately show "That didn't work..." when clicking the connect button. Skipping the 30 second de

  3. Bluetooth refuses to connect to my headphones until it's deleted and r

    Bluetooth refuses to connect to my headphones until it's deleted and reconnected, meaning if I connect my device to the computer it will refuse and say connected and then disconnect. I have tried everything, restarting my computer, and removing the driver, reinstalling and updating the bluetooth driver, this also affects me on Windows 7 as well. My computer can add it and detect normally and operate with no issues, I know there are no viruses because I had not installed any crazy apps. My windows version number for Windows 10 is Version 2004 (19041.329), My laptop is a DELL Latitude E5430, it comes with Windows 7 but I also have Windows 10 installed on it as well. I hope this helps, my only solution is deleting and uninstalling the bluetooth headphones or headset and reconnecting that will make this work.

    If the issue happens under two different OS's and two different PC's, I don't know how you can say the phones aren't the problem *Confused

    It would also help to know exactly what earphones you're talking about. I have a pair of Bose 700 headphones as well as a pair of AKG N60 headphones and have never had Bluetooth issues under any version of Windows 10. This is with both my laptop and desktops running Windows 10.
