Windows 10: Bluetooth suddenly stopped working, running out of ideas to try, any ideas much welcome!

JasperJazz · Jan 6, 2021

Hello all you lovely people

This morning computer was working fine, listening to music making some breakfast as always, when suddenly the music cuts out.
Windows 10 has decided that it is now connected to a bluetooth speaker, I don't own any bluetooth speakers and also btw all your other bluetooth devices mouse, keyboard, PS4 controller are disconnected and you can't connect or pair them anymore.
Doing my absolute best to not personify Windows 10 and ask what the hell are you thinking? haha just keep reminding myself... "It's just code... very strange code..."

Things I have tried so far that have not worked:
-reconnecting

-removing devices from the 'bluetooth and other diveces' bluetooth settings window, then re-pairing.
some of these e.g. logitech keyboard would say 'removing failed' so I had them unistalled using the device manager

-uninstalled BlueSoleil bluetooth software... managed to get mouse paired and connected but very choppy mouse movement. Keyboard took a few tries but got it working, then after restart gone again and can't be found "discovered". PS4 controller was an absolute no go.

-So reinstalled BlueSoleil again, but none of the Bluetooth devices show up at all when trying to add them.

Details:
-Windows 10
-Logitech MX Master 3 Mouse

-Logitech Craft Keyboard
-PS4 Controller
-Avantree DG40s USB Bluetooth dongle
-Standard Windows 10 bluetooth drivers installed as well as, DS4windows, as well as BlueSoleil.

Any ideas of things I could try next would be very much appreciated. Sunk in 3 hours so far to try get it working to no avail and feeling like I've exhausted my ideas of what to try...

Bluetooth headphones suddenly stopped working.

HI,

My Bluetooth headphones have suddenly stopped working. They were working fine this morning. The headphones are connected and I see it in devices + printers but I no longer see it in playback devices.

Any ideas?

Microsoft bluetooth mouse 3600 suddenly undetected

I'm using a Microsoft mouse 3600 on Windows 10, all worked fine until suddenly the mouse stopped working, it disappeared from the Bluetooth detection and can't be found anymore. I need to say Windows performed an update yesterday but it still worked fine after the update. I've tried replacing batteries, updating Bluetooth driver, went one step before the updates and nothing. I obviously tried troubleshooting about anything.The mouse does work on other laptops.

Any ideas? thanks

Xbox Ideas Update: Start Voting for your Favorite Ideas

Hello again, Xbox Insiders! I’m back to talk about the next phase of Xbox Ideas. You might recall last month when I introduced the concept of Idea Drives as part of the new Xbox Ideas. If you’re not familiar, head to last month’s post to read more about Xbox Ideas.

When we launched Xbox Ideas, we included three Idea Drives, all of which asked you to submit your own suggestions and ideas for our feature teams to review. And you did! We received thousands of suggestions, comments, and votes on each Idea Drive, and have carefully chosen the best ideas to represent you in each Idea Drive forum. Here are the three Drives currently active:

Xbox Insider Program – The Xbox Insider Program allows passionate Xbox fans the opportunity to give us feedback on the latest Xbox One System Updates, as well as features and games still in development on both the Xbox One console and Windows 10 PCs. Join the Xbox Insider Program and help make work-in-progress content and features coming to Xbox even better. Then tell us how we can improve it!

Ease of Access – The Ease of Access team is looking for new hardware and software suggestions that will make it easier for people with disabilities to enjoy the Xbox console and services. We’re eager to learn more from you and to share that information as a team. We look forward to receiving and exploring your feature requests via Xbox Ideas. Let’s build a more inclusive Xbox together!

My Games and Apps – My Games and Apps is where you manage your content, including downloaded games, games you have purchased but haven’t downloaded, and your subscriptions. You can also update your games within My Games and Apps, filter and sort, view download progress, and manage your download queue.

The Next Phase of an Idea Drive

Idea Drives will often start in the Accepting Ideas phase, where anyone can submit an idea. After this phase, the voting phase begins. This is your opportunity to vote and comment on a fixed list of ideas that will be used to help our feature teams prioritize their next set of features for Xbox.

This week, both My Games and Apps and the Xbox Insider Program Idea Drives are moving to the voting phase! Soon, Ease of Access will be shifting phases as well. And our next Idea Drive will be announced very soon! We look forward to hearing from you at xboxideas.uservoice.com. Remember, Xbox Ideas are driven by you!
