Windows 10: Deactivated "Hands Free" for AirPods, now can't get it back on

Hello,in a strive to improve the sound quality of my AirPods Pro, I went to the Properties of the AirPods Pro in Windows, Services Tab, and deactivated "Hands Free". They immediately stopped working at all. I tried to reactivate it, but Windows says "Bluetooth Service Error: Wrong Parameter".The airpods are still available for Audio OUT, but dont play it. And they're no longer available as microphones.I tried removing and reinstalling the Airpods, didnt work.I need urgent help in getting this back to work, since I dont have any other devices with me to work with!!Marco

AirPods paired but won't connect.

Hi,



Thank you for replying.



I would suggest you to refer the steps mentioned below and see if that helps:

1. Press Windows Logo key + X, and select
   Device Manager.
   
2. Expand, Human Interface Devices.
   
3. Look for AirPods Audio/Video Remote Control HID and
   AirPods Hands-Free Call Control HID, right click on each entry and select
   Properties.
   
4. Go to the Power Management Tab, clear the checkbox for
   Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power.
   
5. Also, repeat step 4 for Bluetooth Low Energy GATT compliant HID.
   
6. Click on OK.
   

Let us know how it goes.

Airpods

My airpods don't show up on the list under HID. None of my two set do.

Best,

Can't connect AirPods with window

I already went into the setting and tried to pair my AirPods with the laptop, but it's doesn't show up on the list. I followed every step that tells on the website. And I already press and hold the button on the AirPods.
