  1. Cannot "see" BT devices that ARE connected


    Guys, theres an issue with my windows 10 thats driving me nuts!

    I can connect all my bt devices and use it. But i cant see the devices on my bluetooth settings. Ive tryed many things, incluiding unistall each of the devices and even the drivers with no luck yet.

    Even with the devices connected and working, its shows as if they werent.

    Ill attach some pictures for you guys to take a look. Anybody knows how to deal with this issue, please?

    Win version is 1909 (18363.836)

    Reconnect to an already paired BT device (e.g. headphones)


    I have a Windows 10 laptop with Bluetooth and I have Sony BT headphones already paired to that laptop. I use the headphones with different BT source devices. They remember the last device they were connected to. Switching them to another BT source requires active action from the user. In case of Windows 10, I have to open Action Pane, click on the Connect shortcut (which opens a Connect pane), find my headphones in the list and ask Windows to connect to them.

    Now, my question is: it there any way to do the same thing without having to go through Action pane? I.e. is there any way to open the Connect pane directly (a keyboard shortcut preferably)? Or maybe there's an old-style (Windows 7-style) window that would allow me to reconnect to a paired device?

    Project connect to wireless device issue


    Thanks for this suggestion; it's made me realise that I think it might be a problem with my tv after all, because now it won't come up anymore in the list of devices. I better check out some help for this tv; maybe something got turned off by mistake.

    Thanks :Cannot "see" BT devices that ARE connected :)

    Cannot "see" BT devices that ARE connected

    W10 won't (RE)connect to bt headset

    version 1909

    Ok I have been doing this for a couple of days, and I still get confused, you may follow along perfectly. I have a cheap bt headset headset, for a while after I bought it, when I turned it on, it might connect, it might not. If not I went into
    Settings> Devices, found the headset and clicked connect. Eventually it stopped reconnecting completely unless I went in settings and clicked connect. Then that stopped working, and I could then click the Remove Device button, after it was removed, I then paired it again and it worked as expected.

    Until it didn't, then when I clicked Remove Device, it said Remove Failed, Try Again (or something along those lines) I had to start going into Control Panel>All Items>Device Manager, expand Bluetooth, and then remove device that way, then pair again. Until it got to where it did not show up in Device Manager, until I went back to Settings>Devices, refreshed then it showed as still paired. Go back to Device Manager and it was back in the list of BT items.
    Now that isn't working, I can not remove it, I can't pair it, nothing. However, I do have two BT mice and another BT headset in the house, they will all pair, turn off, and start working again no problem, it is just this one item I have that won't connect, or won't remove. Also this headset works fine on my wife's pc, it automatically connects every time it is turned on without fail. So why won't it connect to my pc?

    I'm thinking maybe a driver problem, but I can get anything to work with the driver, running driver update, as usual turnes up noting, that is almost as useless as the troubleshooter. Again that's my thought, but I don't know .

    Two instances of a BT device and one cannot be deleted.: Just R&Rd the M.2 PCIe card with a AX200 on a HP 590 P066 MOBO. Works perfect! Just can't delete the old instance of a BT mouse.
