Windows 10: Can no longer connect bluetooth headphones after Windows update

Since the last big Windows update, my bluetooth mouse works fine, but I can no longer connect to any bluetooth headphones - I have tried the headphones I was using prior to the update and have purchased a brand new set of headphones to no avail. They will pair with my phone with no trouble, so I know they work. What changed with the update to cause this problem and how can I fix it?

Cannot connect to bluetooth headphones after upgrade to Win10


I upgraded my Lenovo W530 running Win7 Pro 64 bit to Windows 10. After the upgrade I can no longer connect to my bluetooth headphones which worked before the upgrade. The bluetooth radio is on. When I click Connect in the Action Center it shows that the headphones are connected but they are not. The headphones (actually my hearing aids) play a notification sound when a bluetooth connection is made and I never hear that sound. If I play music the sound goes to the speaker, not my headphones. I have removed the headphones and repaired them. I have checked that all of the bluetooth device drivers are up to date in Device Manager. I would really appreciate any suggestions to solve this problem. Thanks.

Can no longer connect bluetooth headphones after Windows update

Thanks for providing this link. I have already taken most of these steps. I did remove the headphone device that was in the list and retried, but still would not connect. The same thing happens with the new headphones I just purchased. Bluetooth is definitely
running as my mouse is bluetooth and it is working fine.

I have run the bluetooth troubleshooter but it could find no problems, I even restarted my laptop and tried again. Still no connection. One of the headphones I have, I have used for a couple years, and for at least a year with this laptop. The ceased to
work after the last big update. It seems to be connected.
