    Can’t finish device setup when setting up device for work


    So, I used to attend a middle school and they requested to manage my personal laptop. I’ve graduated just recently but I can’t disconnect the organization or add my own account. I’ve reset my laptop multiple times but it has not disconnected. This is not the point. Now, I am stuck on the ‘setting up your device for work’ screen because the device setup cannot install an app requested by the organization. I’ve contacted the organization to help but they can not offer my help because I don’t go to their school anymore. Please suggest a solution.

    :)

  2. How to setup wifi direct settings and connect devices with windows 10 laptop and other mobile phones.

    Thanks for getting back, Dee. Since only the mobile devices connected via Wi-Fi Direct following the steps above, then I suggest that you try adding your mobile device on your laptop. Follow these steps:

    1. Navigate to Settings > Devices > Bluetooth & other devices.
    2. Click Add Bluetooth or other device.
    3. Under Add a device, select Everything else.
    4. Once your mobile phone appears, select it.
    5. Click Done when finished.

    If you have additional questions, or if the issue persists after the troubleshooting steps above, please let me know by replying to this thread. This way, I'll get notified and respond back to you as soon as I can.

    Regards.

  3. Device Manager Un-Hiding Hidden Devices

    When you connect a plug and play device, Windows Plug and Play manager detects it, finds and installs the driver. Device Manager lists the device with a solid icon.

    The driver is only removed when you uninstall the device, not simply by disconnecting the device. When the device is disconnected, its driver is still installed. By default, Device Manager only displays connected devices. When you show hidden devices, note the Bluetooth icon you see is semi-transparent (not opaque). That indicates a "non-present" device. Sometimes also called a "ghost" device. The driver is still installed but the device is not currently detected (i.e. not connected).

    Device can be disconnected when
    • Device unplugged (e.g. removing a USB device)
    • Turning a device OFF
    • Disabling the device in BIOS (then windows won't detect it) or
    • Device failure

    So
    • Check BIOS as suggested
    • Check board connections
    • Can b/t be turned off by a switch? or keyboard combination?
    Also possible the b/t h/w failed

    Cannot install Cortana Device Setup - Need Workaround

    Hi Nicolas,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    To get clarity on this issue and assist you with appropriate troubleshooting steps, kindly reply with the answers to the questions below.



    1. Are you getting any error message?
    2. What is the version of Windows 10 you are using? You can refer this article to

      Check for operating system information in Windows 10.

    3. When you say does not find my device,
      which device are you using?


    Please help us with the screenshot of the page in the application, where it says
    runs a an Surface Headphones app. Follow the steps mentioned in the

    screenshot
    posted by Shawn ‘Cmdr’ Keene on Oct 2, 2015 to post the screenshot.





    Try to uninstalling and reinstalling the Cortana Device Setup app and check if you're able to complete the setup. Invoke Works with select music services, paid subscriptions may be required. I suggest you to try reset Invoke, follow
    the below steps, and check if that helps.



    1. Attach Power Cable
    2. Press and Hold the Mic Mute Button until Cortana Says, “Ready for setup.”


    Note: the Invoke will not function until properly set up and linked to a Microsoft account.



    I suggest you to follow this article on
    Set up my Harman Kardon Invoke with Cortana
    ,



    I also suggest you to refer this article on
    Introducing Harman Kardon INVOKE with Cortana by Microsoft
    , where you can see the partners who support controlling invoke.



    I look forward to hearing from you soon.



    Regards,
