Windows 10: Check Bluetooth Radio Not Fixed!

I got this problem when I tried to connect my bluetooth earphones to my laptop


at first it connected to my earphones but i couldnt hear anything so i tried troubleshooting it and then after it worked out fine


but then i disconnected to try it on my phone and thats when the problems came in i can no longer turn on my bluetooth on my laptop and ive tried


solutions such as reinstalling the bluetooth drivers and troubleshooting but still didnt fix my problem

:)

 

My Bluetooth won't turn on. Troubleshooter returns this message: "Check Bluetooth radio status -- not fixed"

Thank you. See below:

1. As mentioned, I already ran the troubleshooter , and this is when I got the message "Check Bluetooth radio status... not fixed".

2. "A. Rollback the Driver" this is not showing as an option for me.

B. "Uninstall the Driver ....Uninstall >
Reboot the computer > The driver will be installed automatically when you restart ."

I am trying to avoid a reboot if possible. I believe a reboot will fix the issue, but I have a lot of work open right now, and was hoping to find a way to solve this without a reboot.

3. "Head to following Microsoft help on Bluetooth issue and execute the steps there

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/14169/... "

This article suggested I open the Services window (which I did), but I could not locate "Restart Bluetooth Support.

4. "Head to following Microsoft help on Bluetooth issue and execute the steps there

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/14169/... "

I had found this article previously and already did "restart" Bluetooth Support Service. This did not work.

So....the only thing I have *not* done is reboot. I will do this later after I have closed out all of my work.

Thank you.

 

Bluetooth Technology Gets Faster With Bluetooth 3.0

From its annual All Hands Meeting in Tokyo this week, the Bluetooth SIG formally adopted Bluetooth Core Specification Version 3.0 + High Speed (HS), or Bluetooth 3.0. This latest iteration of the popular short-range wireless technology fulfills the consumers' need for speed while providing the same wireless Bluetooth experience – faster. Manufacturers of consumer electronics and home entertainment devices can now build their products to send large amounts of video, music and photos between devices wirelessly at speeds consumers expect.
Bluetooth 3.0 gets its speed from the 802.11 radio protocol. The inclusion of the 802.11 Protocol Adaptation Layer (PAL) provides increased throughput of data transfers at the approximate rate of 24 Mbps. In addition, mobile devices including Bluetooth 3.0 + HS will realize increased power savings due to enhanced power control built in.


"Like Ricky Bobby in Talladega Nights, this latest version was 'born to go fast,' said Mike's Blog, Ph.D., executive director of the Bluetooth SIG. "Utilizing the 802.11 radio was a natural choice as it provides efficiencies for both our members and consumers – members get more function out of the two radios they are already including in devices, and consumers with Bluetooth 3.0 + HS products will get faster exchange of information without changing how they connect. We are excited to expand the possibilities of the PAN."

This newest version of Bluetooth technology builds on the inherent qualities of the current 2.1 + EDR version, including Simple Secure Pairing and built-in, automatic security. And as with all versions of theBluetooth specification, v3.0 + HS provides developers, manufacturers and consumers with the benefit of backwards compatibility, enabling both the expansion and enhancement of this technology with every new specification release. Once products reach the market, the easiest way for consumers to learn which devices are compatible with other Bluetooth enabled devices is to visit the Bluetooth Gadget Guide.

Applications
With the availability of Bluetooth version 3.0 + HS, consumers can expect to move large data files of videos, music and photos between their own devices and the trusted devices of others, without the need for cables and wires. Some applications consumers will experience include:

• Wirelessly bulk synchronize music libraries between PC and music player or phone
• Bulk download photos to a printer or PC
• Send video files from camera or phone to computer or television

Availability

The Bluetooth SIG's formal adoption of the specification is only the first step in the product lifecycle. News out today from wireless chip manufacturers and Bluetooth SIG member companies Atheros, Broadcom and CSR shows the second step – getting silicon solutions to device manufacturers – is already underway. End products for consumers are expected to be in the market in 9 to 12 months.

Technical Specifications
This new specification release includes several major enhancements (learn more here - page requires member login):

• Generic Alternate MAC/PHY (AMP)
• 802.11 Protocol Adaptation Layer (PAL)
• Generic Test Methodology
• Enhanced Power Control
• Unicast Connectionless Data
