Windows 10: Bluetooth speakers get identified as handsfree headphones after a recent update, that leads...

I have a couple of bluetooth speakers that I use for sound on my PC. As of the latest update that came in a couple of weeks ago, I am completely unable to use those, because whatever bluetooth speaker I connect to my PC is identified as a handsfree headphone. In the bluetooth settings it also says "voice connected", whereas previously it would say "sound and voice connected". If I try to play sound through the device connected in this way (shows up as, for example, "JBL GO wireless headphone" I get the very low quality sound similar to what you get when receiving phone calls.
The issue happens only with my windows 10 computer, the speakers work perfectly well with my Macbook and android phone. Sound through wired headphones works just fine.

So far I tried:

Updating and deleting the drivers.

Restarting the PC.

Reconnecting the devices.

Unpairing/pairing the devices.

Using sound settings to untick the "use as handsfree" box (that leads to device getting unpaired and in the bluetooth settings it says "driver error".

Searching for appropriate drivers online (there are none, I think the devices are supposed to be used with windows built-in drivers, which for whatever reason are not used anymore with my devices).


Models of the speakers:

JBL GO

Dockin D fine+


Please help

Bluetooth headphones


I bought these headphones Amazon.com: Matone® Qy8 [New Version Qy7] V4.1 Wireless Bluetooth Headphones Best In-Ear Noise Cancelling Headphones with Microphone for Running, Sports Accessories. I connected them fine to my Iphone and Ipod but having problems with Windows I got them to pair but sound still comes through regular speakers only. In sound settings it lists the bluetooth headphones but says disconnected. I click on connect but that does nothing. Do not know what else to do
